Welcome to the Water Publications Library. The library is a growing, open access collection of publications relating to the work and research of the Water Group in the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The library includes current and archived publications. Our archived publications may no longer be current, but have been assessed as containing relevant or useful information. For more information about our current work visit the Water Website. The regions are based on our regional water strategies, with descriptions of the catchments.

Allocations and Availability : [257] Collection home page

Logo
We use rules to distribute available surface and groundwater resources sustainably and fairly. We also ensure that water entitlements and allocations are secure and tradeable. A water allocation is the proportion of a licensed water user’s entitlement credited to their water account for use. Allocations vary over time based on the water available in dams, river flows and the prevailing catchment and weather condition.
