Title:
1985 REVIEW OF AUSTRALIA S WATER RESOURCES AND WATER USE


Resource creation on 1900-01-01

Abstract:
This is a database implemented from the information published by Department of Primary Industries and Energy (1987). The database is designed to link to the Australia's River Basins spatial data developed by Australian Water Resources Council (AUSLIG 1997).The database contains the information on the extent and magnitude of Australia's water resources and the usage of water used for the assessment of water resources in 1985. The information on surface water includes summaries of the total runoff, the divertible water resources and the developed water resources of the 252 river basins into which the country was divided. Data on water quality and the reliability of the estimates are also available. The information on groundwater includes summaries of the aquifer characteristics, divertible groundwater resources, water quality, and annual abstractions for the same geographical areas as used in the surface water presentation. Water use information is also presented to each river basin on the use of water for urban and industrial purposes (domestic, industrial and commercial), irrigation (pasture, crops, and horticulture), and other rural purposes (stock and other uses), and the method of supply (reticulated or self-extracted). The reliability of the estimates is also indicated.
