Key data and information The assessment presents the 2009–10 annual landscape water flows and the change in accessible surface water storage in the Tasmania region. Higher than average rainfall combined with approximately average levels of evapotranspiration resulted in above average landscape water yield1 for the year.  Soil moisture levels, on the other hand, decreased by six per cent due to local patterns in rainfall and evapotranspiration and soil storage capacities. Surface water storage volumes rose substantially, in line with the landscape water yield result. &rft.creator=Anonymous&rft.date=2013&rft.relation=http://www.bom.gov.au/water/awra/2010/documents/summary.pdf&rft.relation=http://www.bom.gov.au/water/awra/2010/tas.shtml&rft.coverage=Tasmania&rft.coverage=143.952500,-39.580000 143.833015,-39.724831 143.834380,-39.869358 143.813772,-40.028304 143.881055,-40.170094 144.141113,-40.066902 144.137500,-39.942500 144.176836,-39.630461 143.952500,-39.580000 143.952500,-39.580000&rft.coverage=147.950000,-39.722500 147.716982,-39.849473 147.857500,-40.022500 148.018096,-40.327280 148.332500,-40.212500 148.321151,-39.927932 147.958240,-39.714049 147.950000,-39.722500&rft.coverage=144.9100,-40.7500 144.7225,-40.6425 144.6125,-40.9350 144.7475,-41.4225 145.2225,-42.2200 145.5550,-42.3550 145.1700,-42.1975 145.2625,-42.6225 145.8400,-43.3150 145.9750,-43.2325 146.0300,-43.5700 146.8725,-43.6375 147.3400,-42.8775 147.4150,-43.0500 147.5575,-42.8375 147.9975,-42.9675 147.8125,-42.8875 148.0125,-42.2400 148.3550,-42.1975 148.2225,-40.8450 147.9400,-40.7400 146.3650,-41.1725 144.9100,-40.7500&rft.coverage=147.8600,-43.0550 147.6200,-43.0050 148.0075,-43.2250 147.8600,-43.0550&rft_rights=All material provided by the Bureau of Meteorology is covered by Copyright notice.&rft_rights=Unless otherwise noted in the list of licensing agreements (see Licensing folder), all material is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Australia License&rft_subject=Australian hydrological geospatial fabric&rft_subject=Australian water resources assessment&rft_subject=environmental intelligence&rft_subject=groundwater&rft_subject=landscape modelling&rft_subject=water balance&rft_subject=Landscape water yield&rft_subject=Agricultural Hydrology (Drainage, Flooding, Irrigation, Quality, etc.)&rft_subject=AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY SCIENCES&rft_subject=OTHER AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY SCIENCES&rft_subject=Surfacewater Hydrology&rft_subject=EARTH SCIENCES&rft_subject=PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GEOSCIENCE&rft_subject=Hydrogeology&rft.type=dataset&rft.language=English Access the data

Full description

This assessment and related data examines water resources in the Tasmania region in 2009–10 and over recent decades. Seasonal variability and trends in modelled water flows, stores and levels are considered at the regional level and also in more detail at sites for selected rivers, wetlands and aquifers. Information on water use is provided for selected urban centres and irrigation areas.

It begins with an overview of key data and information on water flows, stores and use in the region in recent times followed by a brief description of the region. Water quality, which is important in any water resources assessment, is not addressed. At the time of writing, suitable quality controlled and assured surface water quality data from the Australian Water Resources Information System (Bureau of Meteorology 2011a) were not available. Groundwater and water use are only partially addressed for the same reason. In future reports, these aspects will be dealt with more thoroughly as suitable data become operationally available.

Key data and information

The assessment presents the 2009–10 annual landscape water flows and the change in accessible surface water storage in the Tasmania region. Higher than average rainfall combined with approximately average levels of evapotranspiration resulted in above average landscape water yield1 for the year.  Soil moisture levels, on the other hand, decreased by six per cent due to local patterns in rainfall and evapotranspiration and soil storage capacities. Surface water storage volumes rose substantially, in line with the landscape water yield result.
