NSW Water Register: Water access licences and water usage for Namoi water sources

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.



The NSW Water Register provides public access to information about water licences, approvals, water trading, water dealings, environmental water and other matters related to water entitlements in NSW.



The register amalgamates information from several public registers maintained by the NSW Office of Water as part of its statutory responsibility to record water entitlement and water market information.



The NSW Water Register is complemented by the Water Access Licence Register maintained by Land and Property Information, which provides more detailed information about every water access licence in NSW.

Each of the following water sources were selected separately

All of the available time periods were then selected separately, for each water source		

The results of each search were copied and pasted into an excel worksheet.		

		

once the data for a particular water year (eg '2008/09') was pasted into the worksheet the date of the download was pasted into a new column, for each row of data. This added column is highlighted on the following worksheet		

the name of the groundwater source was also added for each set of data downloaded	.
