Analysis and insights

Analysis and insights of our water data

We analyse water related data to produce insights and information about water management. The department then uses the information and insights to manage water more effectively.

Catchment based annual analysis

We produce annual reports for each catchment that provide insights into:

• Climatic conditions (How did the annual reporting period compare to historical conditions?)
• Water resources (How much water was there?)
• Water resource changes (Where did the water originate and where did it go?)
• Water resource commitments (How was the water distributed amongst stakeholders?)
• Water resource use (How much entitlement is active and what proportion of available water is being used?)
• Environmental water (How much water was available for environmental use, and how much was delivered to environmental assets?)
• Water resource management (What legislative rules determined the sharing of available water?)
• Water market activity (How much water is being traded, and how much does the water cost?)
