General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - Namoi 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。通用目的水资源核算报告（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）。年度通用目的水资源核算报告覆盖新南威尔士州所有主要受监管内陆河谷，且于水财年结束后正式发布。
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相关信息。

通用目的水资源核算报告包含以下内容：
• 背景说明：汇总报告期内水源地的气候状况、水资源禀赋、环境水资源保有量、水交易市场及水资源管理情况
• 实物流量图：展示储水容量变化及相关流入、流出情况
• 水资源核算报表：列示可用水资源（water assets）、许可配水账户（water liabilities）及规划环境水账户（water liabilities）的期初、期末余额，以及各账户余额的明细变动项
• 披露附注：关联水资源核算报表内的各项数据，对以下核算组成部分提供详细说明：
(i) 规划及持有的环境用水许可账户余额
(ii) 水账户余额
(iii) 可用水资源核定详细报告
(iv) 按许可类别划分的临时水交易情况
(v) 各河段的补充公告及用水情况
(vi) 本水财年系统内的实物流入与流出情况
• 尽管本次通用目的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），各水源地的年度地下水汇总报告将单独发布，可通过水务部门官网获取。
