General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - NSW Border Rivers Catchment

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. The General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1). The annual GPWAR is prepared for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. The reports are published following the closure of the water year. \r\nThe annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.\r\n\r\nIncluded in the GPWAR are:\r\n\r\n•\ta contextual statement summarising the climatic conditions, water resources, environmental holdings, water trading market and water resource management in the water source for the reporting period\r\n\r\n•\ta physical flow diagram illustrating changes in storage volumes and the associated inflows and outflows\r\n\r\n•\twater accounting statements presenting the opening and closing balances, and itemised changes to these balances for available water resources (water assets), licenced allocation accounts (water liabilities) and planned environmental water accounts (water liabilities)\r\n\r\n•\tdisclosure notes (linked to the figures within the water accounting statements) providing detailed information of accounting components including:\r\n\r\n (i) access licence account balances planned and held environmental, \r\n (ii) water account balance, \r\n (iii) detailed available water determination report,\r\n (iv) temporary trading by licence category,\r\n (v) supplementary announcements and usage by river reach,\r\n (vi) physical inflows and outflows to the system for the water year.\r\n\r\n•\twhile groundwater has not been directly included in this GPWAR (aside from those processes that directly affect the regulated river), annual groundwater summary reports by water source are published separately and accessible via the department’s website.\r\n\r\n

新南威尔士州（NSW）是推行标准化水资源核算的领先州份。通用水资源核算报告（General Purpose Water Accounting Reports，GPWAR）采用《澳大利亚水资源核算准则第1号》（Australian Water Accounting Standard 1，AWAS 1）。该年度通用水资源核算报告覆盖新南威尔士州所有主要受监管内陆流域，于水文年度结束后发布。
此类年度报告可为利益相关方提供一致且透明的水资源核算信息。

通用水资源核算报告包含以下内容：

• 情境说明：总结报告期内各水源的气候状况、水资源禀赋、环境保有水量、水权交易市场及水资源管理情况

• 实物流量图：展示蓄水量变化及相关的流入、流出情况

• 水资源核算报表：列示可用水资源（水务资产，water assets）、许可配水账户（水务负债，water liabilities）及规划环境用水账户（水务负债，water liabilities）的期初、期末余额，以及各账户余额的分项变动情况

• 披露附注：与水资源核算报表中的数据相挂钩，详细说明各核算组成部分，具体包括：

(i) 取水许可账户余额及规划持有的环境用水
(ii) 水务账户余额
(iii) 可用水资源详细核定报告
(iv) 按许可类别划分的临时水权交易情况
(v) 各河段的补充公告及用水情况
(vi) 水文年度内系统的实物流入与流出量

• 尽管本次通用水资源核算报告未直接纳入地下水相关内容（直接影响受监管河道的地下水流程除外），各水源的年度地下水汇总报告将另行发布，可通过该部门官网获取。
