What is the water usage dashboard
The Water Usage dashboard is an initiative by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water to bring greater data transparency and water resource insights to the people of NSW on water usage across different regions within the state.
Compared to the previous version, the current version (January 2024 release) comprises several enhancements, including top 5 water source summaries, usage data and metering coverage indicators for unregulated rivers and groundwater sources, and improved user navigation experience.
The department welcomes any feedback or suggestion, please use the feedback form at the bottom of this page.
