NSW Office of Water Surface Water Licences Processed for Hunter v1 20140516

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



The aim of this dataset was to be able to map each surface water works with the volumetric entitlement without double counting the volume and to aggregate/ disaggregate the data depending on the final use.



This has not been been clipped to the Hunter PAE.



An additional column has been added, 'Asset Class' that aggregates the purpose of the licence into the set classes for the Asset Database.

## **Dataset History** 

An additional column has been added, 'Asset Class' that aggregates the purpose of the licence into the set classes for the Asset Database.

Where purpose = domestic; or domestic & stock; or stock then it was classed as 'basic water right'. Where it is listed as both a domestic/stock and a licensed use such as irrigation, it was classed as a 'water access right.' All other take and use were classed as a  'water access right'. 

The hunter region was included with the Gloucester extract from NSW Office of Water.



1	This dataset has not been clipped to the PAE					

2	Share component/ entitlement information was stored in the     SW_Gloucestern_WLS-EXTRACT_Wals_volume.xls and SW_Gloucester_WLS-EXTRACT.xls					

3	These datasets were combined in access by linking the 'LICENSE/APPROVAL' in 'SW_Gloucester_WLS-EXTRACT.xls' with the 'Linked with WA/CA' in 'SW_Gloucester_WLS-EXTRACT_Wals_volume.xls'					

4	The works and share/component information was joined using Access, linking the 'CWlicence' from the spatial data to the 'WAorCA_link'. This links the volumetric entitlement to the works location.					

5	Where there was more than one works per licence, an additional column was add 'COUNT_works_per_licence_bundled'. This shows where the share component/ entitlement is double counted as it is matched to each work with the full allocation.					

6	For licences that have been unbundled, 'counts_works_per_licence_unbundled'					

7	An additional column was added 'VOLUME_PER_WORKS' which divides the allocation component by the number of works to give an allocation per works_for bundled licences.					

8	An additional column was added 'SHARE_PER_WORKS' which divides the share component by the number of works to give an share per works_for unbundled licences.					

9	The'VOLUME_PER_WORKS' and 'SHARE_PER_WORKS' column allows you to  plot the works with the share component in ArcGIS without double counting the allocation.					

10. A glossary of terms used ini the water licensing is included here:    http://registers.water.nsw.gov.au/wma/Glossary.jsp						

11	An additional worksheet Final_process_ClarenceMoreton highlights the most appropriate columns in regards to the purpose of the licence, the location, and volume per works and the status of the licence					

12	cancelled licences have been removed from the final worksheet
