WRIMS - Groundwater Resources DWER-084

Purpose: Management of Groundwater resources in Western Australia. Groundwater Resources stored in WRIMS (Water Resource Information Management System). The intersection of groundwater Subareas with Aquifer boundaries (usually) define groundwater Resources, which are the units used by the DWER to manage environmentally sustainable limits of extraction for groundwater resources. For the purposes of groundwater resource management, the state of Western Australia is divided into groundwater areas proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act. These groundwater areas are further subdivided into groundwater subareas. The subareas are not proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act, but are administrative boundaries used to manage the extraction and licensing of groundwater resources. Groundwater Resources in this dataset are not always the intersection of a Subarea with an Aquifer. Additionally, the Groundwater Areas stored in WRIMS do not accurately reflect the official gazetted Groundwater Area boundaries. A program is currently underway (Sept 2005) to review both Groundwater Resource and Groundwater area boundaries. Please contact the data steward for more information.

本数据集旨在支撑西澳大利亚州地下水资源管理工作。存储于WRIMS（水资源信息管理系统，Water Resource Information Management System）中的地下水资源数据，通常以地下水亚区与含水层边界的交集作为界定依据，该界定单元为DWER用于管控地下水资源环境可持续开采限额的基本管理单元。
出于地下水资源管理需求，西澳大利亚州依据《水权与灌溉法案》（Rights in Water and Irrigation Act）划定了正式公告的地下水管理区，此类管理区可进一步细分为地下水亚区。地下水亚区并非依据该法案公告划定，而是用于管控地下水开采与许可审批的行政边界。
本数据集收录的地下水资源单元并非始终与地下水亚区和含水层的交集完全匹配。此外，WRIMS中存储的地下水管理区数据，无法准确对应官方公告的地下水管理区边界。目前（2005年9月）一项针对地下水资源单元与地下水管理区边界的修订工作已启动，如需获取更多详情，请联系数据管理员。
