Water - Assessing Australia?s Water Resources

Australian Water Resources Assessment 2000 is Australia?s fourth water resources assessment. It:

better defines Australia?s surface and groundwater management units;
details the quantity of water being used and allocated;
details surface water quality and groundwater salinity;
reports on environmental water allocations;
reviews the potential for further development;
highlights links between surface water and groundwater resources;
provides access to summary data and information collated and presented at national, State/Territory and basin/groundwater management unit levels through the Australian Natural Resources Atlas and
identifies knowledge gaps and data collection deficiencies that need to be resolved to underpin Australia?s water resources management and make it more effective.

Australian Water Resources Assessment 2000 was prepared in partnership with State and Territory water management agencies.
