Various products and services, such as consultancy and user funded data gathering, will be considered against other priorities. Data can be customised to suit specific requirements. The ABS Environment Statistics Newsletter is produced on a half yearly basis. If you would like to be placed on our electronic mailing list, please contact Boon Lim and leave your address details. The information is extracted mainly from ABS publications and other external publications.
Information is presented in the form of tables, maps, graphs and dot key points where appropriate.
A range of topics are covered and these are listed on the website in batches and rotated periodically as statistical data are updated. This was the first attempt at producing an environmental account for water in Australia and one of only a few examples of a water account in the world. This report presents quantitative water resource data on a State and national level, and details on the supply of water from, and the use of water by, various sectors. Water reuse and discharge of water back to the environment are also presented. An analysis of water use, water consumption and economic data are also presented, providing some economic water efficiency measures.
