Surface Water Economic Entitlements GIP 20141219

## **Abstract** \n\nThe dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.\n\n\n\nThis data represents surface water entitlements inlcuding volumes extracted in ML in the Gippsland PAE. The initial data provided for Surface Water entitlements in the Gippsland PAE was extremely coarse. Water sources from River Basins (in the absence of more spatially representative features such as licence locations) were used in order to assign data to a general location. \n\nAt the Gippsland Asset workshop in December, 2014, better Surface Water Entitlement data was requested and Southern Rural Water provided this data by entitlement location on the 18/12/2014.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nThis dataset is an intermediate dataset to be included into a revised version of the Gippsland Asset database by ERIN\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nAs the new Entitlement data from Southern Rural Water did not contain volumes but rather individual locations for each entitlement, data was joined by licence number to an internal Bureau of Meteorology national dataset enabling ML per year per licence to be assigned to location. This was done using ArcGIS software.\n\nNote there17 features without matching licence with a volume.\n\nAll data classified as "Water Access Right" as not broken down into the following codes of use:\n\nCODE \tDEFINITION \n\nWSUP \tWater supply \n\nIRAG \tWater supply for irrigated agriculture \n\nSTOK \tWater supply for livestock \n\nDRNK \tPotable water supply i.e. drinking water \n\nHUSE \tWater supply for household needs e.g. washing, toilet \n\nMNAS \tWater supply for mining activities \n\nINDS \tWater supply for manufacturing and industry \n\nINST \tWater supply for institution \n\nCOMS \tWater supply for commercial activities i.e. a service business that does not fabricate a product \n\nRECS \tWater supply for recreation and cultural activities \n\nEXPR \tExploration or research \n\nMINE \tMining i.e. extraction of minerals or energy resources \n\nRECN \tRecreational purposes \n\nMON \tMonitoring of groundwater conditions \n\nDRNG \tDrainage of groundwater principally to lower watertable or remove deleterious groundwater \n\nCULT \tFeature of natural or cultural significance \n\nUNK \tUnknown i.e. purpose of groundwater feature is unknown \n\n\n\nIn order to ensure only volumes and locations that were inside the Gippsland PAE were counted the the GIS location layer was clipped to the Gippsland PAE.\n\n\n\nSummary Statistics\n\n\\*\tCount:\t1144\n\n\\*\tMinimum:\t0\n\n\\*\tMaximum:\t1641.1\n\n\\*\tSum:\t137663.2\n\n\\*\tMean:\t120.334965\n\n\\*\tStandard Deviation:\t239.457137\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (2014) Surface Water Economic Entitlements GIP 20141219.
