Australian Government Water Recovery Programs in the Murray-Darling Basin - 2010-2019

To return the Murray–Darling river system to health, the Murray–Darling Basin Plan requires recovery of surface water and groundwater for the environment. The government has prioritised infrastructure investment as its preferred method of water recovery. Read more about water programs in the Murray-Darling Basin here: http://www.agriculture.gov.au/water/mdb/programs\r\n\r\n# Scope\r\nThis data set provides farm-level data on projects funded to recover water under the Basin Plan. Programs included are:\r\n\r\n* Commonwealth On-Farm Further Irrigation Efficiency Program (contributes to Efficiency Measures)\r\n\r\n* QLD Healthy Headwaters Water Use Efficiency Project\r\n\r\n* NSW Irrigated Farm Modernisation\r\n\r\n* NSW Basin Pipe\r\n\r\n* Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project Two\r\n\r\n* On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Program\r\n\r\n* Private Irrigation Infrastructure Operators Program in NSW\r\n\r\n* Private Irrigation Infrastructure Program for South Australia\r\n\r\n* South Australia River Murray Sustainability Program\r\n\r\n* Victorian Farm Modernisation Program\r\n\r\nFarm-level data is not available for the following programs:\r\n\r\n* Goulburn Murray Water Connections \r\n\r\n* NSW Metering Pilot\r\n\r\n* NSW Southern Valleys Metering Project\r\n\r\n* Sunraysia Modernisation Program\r\n\r\n##Exclusions\r\nPrograms that purchase water entitlements directly without associated infrastructure works are not included. Additionally, projects where a water entitlement has __not__ been returned to the Commonwealth, for example environmental projects, are also excluded.\r\n\r\n#Data field descriptions\r\n* Program: Text - Name of program under which the on-farm works were funded.\r\n\r\n* Round: Numerical or text - Funding round under which on-farm works were funded. Text fields generally refer to "Not applicable" where the program did not have funding rounds, or "Pilot" where funding was provided under a pilot arrangement.\r\n\r\n* Delivery partner: Text - The organisation contracted to deliver the program on behalf of the Australian Government. These organisations are responsible for day-to-day management of on-farm projects, and have the contract with the farmer.\r\n\r\n* Project identifier: Numerical or text - An identifier for each project unique to that program. \r\n\r\n* Australian Government project funding (GST exclusive): Currency - Australian dollars - Australian Government Project Funding excludes both GST payments and administration components of funding. Project values may change over time as the project is finalised and subject to final audit and acquittal.\r\n\r\n* Water transferred to Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (ML nominal): Numeric - Megalitres - Water transferred to the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder. Total water savings may exceed those returned to the Commonwealth.\r\n\r\n* Water transferred to Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (ML LTAAY): Numeric - Megalitres in LTAAY terms - LTAAY stands for Long Term Average Annual Yield, which is a method used to standardise the calculation of expected water recoveries in the Murray–Darling Basin from different water access entitlement categories and across catchments in the Basin. This measure of water volume is relevant for measuring progress of water recovery towards meeting the sustainable diversion limits set out in the Basin Plan. The average annual yield for Murray-Darling Basin resource units is calculated using the current long-term diversion limit equivalent factors (v2.05) agreed by the Ministerial Council in November 2011, or in the absence of a factor, is modelled by the MDBA in consultation with the States. Following accreditation of the Water Resource Plans for an area, the planning assumptions used within will determine the LTAAY. \r\n\r\n* Water entitlement class: Text - The type of water that was transferred to the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder. Water entitlements are perpetual or ongoing entitlement to exclusive access to a share of water from a specified consumptive pool as defined in the relevant water plan. The nature and names for water entitlements differ across the Murray-Darling Basin. Further information is available at: http://www.bom.gov.au/water/awid/index.shtml.\r\n\r\n* State: Text - State from which the water entitlement was sourced.\r\n\r\n* SDL Resource Unit: Text - The geographical location from which the water entitlement was sourced, based on information provided by the delivery partner. Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) Resource Units are defined in legislation and available at https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/4afa3227-8557-4bb6-944a-6494b28ae160.\r\n\r\n* Description of project: Text - Description of on-farm works undertaken. This field has been edited to ensure that it has been appropriately de-identified consistent with our obligations under the _Privacy Act 1988_.\r\n\r\n* Project commencement date: Date - DD/MM/YYYY - Date on which the project commenced. The date taken for this purpose may vary depending on the program and includes (but is not limited to) dates such as the date Funding Agreement with the Delivery Partner was signed.\r\n\r\n* Project completion date: Date - DD/MM/YYYY - Date on which the project was completed. The date taken for this purpose may vary depending on the program and includes (but is not limited to) dates such as approval date of final activity report, sub-project type closure report or closure letter. Not all projects have been completed at the time of producing this report.\r\n\r\n_Disclaimer: The Australian Government acting through the Department of Agriculture has exercised due care and skill in preparing and compiling this data. In some instances, the department has relied on the delivery agent - which is responsible for the management and implementation of the program (and has the contract with the individual farmer) - to prepare the data. Notwithstanding, the Department of Agriculture, its employees and advisers disclaim all liability, including liability for negligence and for any loss, damage, injury, expense or cost incurred by any person as a result of accessing, using or relying on any of the data to the maximum extent permitted by law._

为恢复墨累-达令河系的健康状态，《墨累-达令盆地计划》要求回收地表水与地下水用于生态环境。澳大利亚政府已将基础设施投资列为其优先采用的水资源回收方式。更多关于墨累-达令盆地水资源项目的信息，请访问：http://www.agriculture.gov.au/water/mdb/programs

# 数据字段说明
* 项目：文本型 - 资助农场工程的项目名称。

* 轮次：数值或文本型 - 资助农场工程的资金轮次。文本字段通常表示：项目无资金轮次时为“不适用”，或在试点安排下获资助时为“试点”。

* 执行伙伴：文本型 - 受澳大利亚政府委托执行项目的组织。这些组织负责农场项目的日常管理，并与农户签订合同。

* 项目标识符：数值或文本型 - 每个项目在对应计划中的唯一标识。

* 澳大利亚政府项目资金（不含商品及服务税）：货币型 - 澳元 - 澳大利亚政府项目资金不包含商品及服务税（GST）支付与资金管理费用。项目价值可能随项目最终确定及最终审计与结算而变化。

* 转移至联邦环境水资源管理局的水量（标称：百万升）：数值型 - 百万升 - 转移至联邦环境水资源管理局的水量。总节水量可能超过返还给联邦的水量。

* 转移至联邦环境水资源管理局的水量（LTAAY：百万升）：数值型 - 百万升（按长期平均年水量计）- 长期平均年水量（LTAAY）是用于标准化计算墨累-达令盆地不同水资源使用权类别及各流域预期水资源回收量的方法。该水量指标与衡量水资源回收进度是否达到《盆地计划》规定的可持续取水量限制相关。墨累-达令盆地资源单元的平均年水量采用2011年11月部长理事会商定的现行长期取水量限制等效系数（v2.05）计算；若无该系数，则由墨累-达令盆地管理局（MDBA）与各州协商建模确定。某区域水资源计划获得认证后，计划中使用的规划假设将决定LTAAY值。

* 水资源使用权类别：文本型 - 转移至联邦环境水资源管理局的水资源类型。水资源使用权是指根据相关水资源计划定义，对特定消耗性水池（consumptive pool）中部分水量的永久或持续排他使用权。墨累-达令盆地各地的水资源使用权性质与名称存在差异。更多信息请访问：http://www.bom.gov.au/water/awid/index.shtml。
