Water - Appendix 1. Summary by Surface Water Management Area
Assessment reliability
The quality of Australian Water Resources Assessment varies across attributes. It was evaluated using a qualitative scale. Appendices 4 & 5 provide a summary of extent, completeness and reliability estimate of the databases that supports this water resource assessment.
Data presented are as supplied by the States and Territories. While every effort has been taken to identify errors in the data, users should verify the data with the agencies.
Data presented are as supplied by the State and Territory data custodians. While every effort has been made to identify and rectify any obvious errors in the data, it is recommended that users of this report verify the data with the data custodians. Readers should also refer to Appendix 3 for explanation of the assessment methods used by State and Territory agencies.
Estimates of data reliability.
Class Surface water quantity
- Based mainly on reliable recorded and surveyed data and detailed storage analysis.
- Based on approximate hydrologic analysis and limited surveys.
- Based largely on reconnaissance data Little measured data.
- Derived without investigation data.
-
* The developed allocation is 100% of sustainable yield. This includes cases where the sustainable yield has been nominally set at the current allocation and requires more vigorous assessment. See the Victorian State Overview Report for further details.
