QLD Dept of Natural Resources and Mines, Groundwater Entitlements 20131204

Brief description

## **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 the known details at the time of acquisition.



This dataset is an extract from the QLD Dept of Natural Resource and Mines licensing data from the water management system. The dataset includes basic right (domestic & stock) licences as well as groundwater licences to take & use groundwater (eg. irigation, town supply etc). Groundwater licences can have an allocation as megalitres or a right to irrigate a certain number of hectares. There is no basic conversion to determine how many megalites/hecatre. The volume allocated for domestic and stock also varies based on the management area. This information can be found resource operations plan or water sharing rules.

DNRM will be supply GIS layers for the water management areas refered to in the dataset.

For licences that do not have a lat/long, property details are included. This could be tied to a cadastre layer.
