QLD Dept of Natural Resources and Mines, Surface Water Entitlements 131204

## **Abstract** \n\nThis 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.\n\nThis 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 surface water licences to take & use groundwater (eg. irigation, town supply etc). Surface water 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. \n\nhttp://www.nrm.qld.gov.au/water/management/water_sharing_rules/index.html\n\nDNRM can not supply supply GIS layers for the water management areas refered to in the dataset. These do not exist.\n\nFor licences that do not have a lat/long, property details are included. This could be tied to a cadastre layer.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThis dataset is an extract from the QLD Dept of Natural Resource and Mines licensing data from the water management system\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nQueensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines (2013) QLD Dept of Natural Resources and Mines, Surface Water Entitlements 131204.
