Missing SW Licensing Data in the Namoi PAE 20140711

## **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 known details at the time of acquisition.\n\n\n\nThis dataset includes the works details from with surface water licences from NSW in the NIC/NAM Additional PAE region. The short guide to NSW Office of Water's licensing data has been provided to accompany the dataset (both the spatial locations and the associated licence details). \n\n\n\n\n\nA SHORT GUIDE TO NSW OFFICE OF WATER'S LICENSING DATA\n\n\n\nMethodology\n\n1.\tUsing the supplied polygons a spatial select was taken for each polygon area for the Surface and Groundwater Approved Work locations. These Work Location points were exported to an ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase for each polygon area. These work locations have a "Status" of either "Active" (under the Water Act) or "Current" (under the Water Management Act).\n\n2.\tThe Approved License number attached to each Work was then used to query the Office of Water's Water Licensing System (WLS) to extract details on each Approved license including any linked Water Access Licenses (WAL) if the Work was now under the Water Management Act (WMA). These files end in \\*_WLS-EXTRACT_n.xls.\n\n3.\tIf found the linked WAL number is used to re-query using WLS to extract details on each linked WAL. These files end in \\*_WLS-EXTRACT_n_WALs_volume.xls.\n\n4.\tIt should be noted that due to query size constraints in WLS the output files for each polygon area may be split into a number of subset files ("n" being the number of the subset).\n\n5.\tThe field headings are as per the WLS Extract report. They include some characters (e.g. "\\") that may cause problems if loaded into ArcGIS. Not knowing how the data is to be used I have not amended them.\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Licensing data\n\n1.\tA Licensed Work Approval may have more than work (and therefore work location, i.e. point) associated with it. If the Licensed Work Approval is under the old Water Act it may have associated with it an "Entitlement" volume (if on a Regulated River) or an "Allocation" volume in an unregulated area. Please note that these volumes are for the whole licensed approval distributed amongst the related works but not against any particular one.\n\n2.\tA Licensed Work Approval, if under the newer Water Management Act may have more than one linked WAL. Each WAL may have a "Share Component" volume associated with it. This will nee to be summed against each linked Licensed Work Approval to get the total WAL volume. Please note again that these volumes are for the whole licensed approval distributed amongst the related works but not against any particular one.\n\n3.\tIt is important to note that under the WMA it is possible for WALs not to have a linked Licensed Work Approval (to support Water Trading). This means a spatial select with not find these WALs and the volumes associated with them. The WAL is still related to a particular Water Source and can be re-associated with a different Licensed Work Approval at a later date.\n\n\n\nThis dataset has been provided to the BA Programme for use within the programme only. Third parties may request a copy of the data from DPI Water (previously known as the NSW Office of Water) at http://www.water.nsw.gov.au/.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThis dataset was extracted from the NSW Office of Water's licensing system. Work Location points were exported to an ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase for each polygon area supplied by the Bioregional Assessment project teams for each area. Corresponding work locations found with each polygon were exported from the licensing system.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nNSW Office of Water (2014) Missing SW Licensing Data in the Namoi PAE 20140711.

**摘要**

本数据集由第三方提供给生物区域评估项目（Bioregional Assessment Programme），此处按原始提供形式发布。数据集未附带元数据，由生物区域评估项目基于采集时的已知信息编译完成。

本数据集涵盖新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）NIC/NAM附加PAE区域内地表水许可证的相关作业详情。随数据集一同提供了新南威尔士州水务局（NSW Office of Water）许可数据的简要指南，涵盖空间位置与关联许可详情两部分内容。

**新南威尔士州水务局许可数据简要指南**

### 方法学

1. 基于提供的面要素，针对每个面区域对地表水与地下水获批作业位置执行空间选择。将各面区域对应的作业位置点导出至ArcGIS 10.0文件地理数据库（File Geodatabase）。此类作业位置的“状态”字段取值为《水法》框架下的**活跃（Active）**，或《水管理法》（Water Management Act, WMA）框架下的**有效（Current）**。

2. 利用每个作业绑定的获批许可证编号，查询水务许可系统（Water Licensing System, WLS）以提取各获批许可证的详情；若作业适用《水管理法》，还需提取其关联的取水许可证（Water Access Licenses, WAL）信息。此类导出文件的命名格式为`*_WLS-EXTRACT_n.xls`。

3. 若获取到关联取水许可证编号，则通过WLS再次查询以提取各关联取水许可证的详情。此类文件的命名格式为`*_WLS-EXTRACT_n_WALs_volume.xls`。

4. 需注意：由于WLS存在查询规模限制，每个面区域对应的导出文件可能被拆分为若干子文件（`n`为子文件序号）。

5. 字段标题与WLS导出报告的格式完全一致，其中包含部分特殊字符（例如反斜杠``），若直接导入ArcGIS可能引发异常。由于未明确数据的具体使用场景，未对字段标题进行修正。

**许可数据解读**

1. 一项获批作业许可可绑定多个作业（及对应的作业位置点）。若该获批作业许可适用旧版《水法》，则其可能关联**配额量（Entitlement）**（适用于管控河流区域）或**分配量（Allocation）**（适用于非管控河流区域）。需注意：此类水量为整个获批许可的总配额，会分摊至相关作业，但不会单独绑定至某一特定作业。

2. 若获批作业许可适用新版《水管理法》，则可绑定多个关联取水许可证。每个取水许可证均可关联**份额分量（Share Component）**水量，需将各关联取水许可证的份额分量汇总至对应获批作业许可，方可得到总取水许可水量。再次提醒：此类水量为整个获批许可的总配额，会分摊至相关作业，但不会单独绑定至某一特定作业。

3. 需特别说明：在《水管理法》框架下，部分取水许可证可能未绑定任何获批作业许可（用于支持水权交易）。这意味着通过空间选择无法检索到此类取水许可证及其关联水量，但该取水许可证仍绑定特定水源，后续可重新关联至其他获批作业许可。

**数据集历史**

本数据集提取自新南威尔士州水务局许可系统。生物区域评估项目团队为各区域提供面要素后，针对每个面区域将作业位置点导出至ArcGIS 10.0文件地理数据库，同时从许可系统中导出与各面要素匹配的作业位置信息。
