Victorian Water Supply Protection Areas

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third part and are presented here as originally supplied.\n\n\n\nSurface Water - This dataset displays Victoria's surface-water Water Supply Protection Areas (WSPAs), and has been prepared for the Groundwater and Licensing Branch and the River Health Branch DSE, by LICS (Land Information Cartographic Services) and Melbourne Water.\n\nAs part of the 2002 amendments to the Water Act 1989, surface-water was included to allow WSPAs to be declared for the protection of surface-water resources in a defined area. A legally enforceable Streamflow Management Plan is then developed. The aim of the plan is to manage the surface water resources of the WSPA equitably and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource. An extensive consultative process guarantees that surface water users have a major input into the development of the Streamflow Management Plan for their\n\narea. A Ministerial appointed Consultative Committee which represents all relevant interests prepares the Plan. In an area where farming predominates, farmers who own or occupy farming land in the area must comprise at least half of the membership of the committee.\n\nGroundwater - This dataset displays Victoria's groundwater Water Supply Protection Areas (WSPAs), and was originally prepared for Groundwater and Licensing Branch DSE, by LICS (Land Information Cartographic Services). Boundaries generaterd by LICS and Melbourne Water. Subsequent revisions have been undertaken by GLiB and the Rural Water Corporations. WSPAs are areas that have been (or are proposed to be) proclaimed under the Water Act 1989 for the purpose of establishing a management plan. The aim of the plan is to manage the groundwater resources of the WSPA equitably and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource. An extensive consultative process\n\nguarantees that groundwater users have a major input into the development of the Groundwater Management Plan for their area. A Ministerial appointed Consultative Committee, which represents all relevant interests, prepares the Plan. In an area where farming predominates, farmers who own or occupy farming land in the area must comprise at least half of the membership of the committee.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nBoundaries generaterd by LICS and Melbourne Water.

## **摘要**
本数据集及其元数据声明由第三方提供给生物区域评估计划（Bioregional Assessment Programme），本文档按原始提交内容原样呈现。

## **地表水（Surface Water）**
本数据集展示维多利亚州地表水供水保护区（Water Supply Protection Areas, WSPAs），由土地信息制图服务社（Land Information Cartographic Services, LICS）与墨尔本水务（Melbourne Water）为DSE地下水与许可分支部门以及河流健康分支部门编制。

作为1989年《水法》2002年修正案的一部分，地表水被纳入监管范畴，以便在划定区域内设立供水保护区以保护地表水资源。后续将制定具有法律强制力的径流管理计划（Streamflow Management Plan），其目标是公平管理供水保护区内的地表水资源，并保障该资源的长期可持续性。广泛的咨询流程确保地表水使用者能够深度参与其所在区域径流管理计划的制定工作。该计划由部长任命的咨询委员会负责编制，该委员会需代表所有相关利益方。在以农业为主的区域，拥有或占用该区域农业用地的农场主必须占委员会成员总数的至少一半。

## **地下水（Groundwater）**
本数据集展示维多利亚州地下水供水保护区（WSPAs），最初由土地信息制图服务社（LICS）为DSE地下水与许可分支部门编制，边界由LICS与墨尔本水务划定。后续修订工作由GLiB与农村水务公司完成。供水保护区（WSPAs）指依据1989年《水法》宣布设立（或拟设立）的区域，用于制定专属管理计划。该计划的目标是公平管理供水保护区内的地下水资源，并保障资源的长期可持续性。广泛的咨询流程确保地下水使用者能够深度参与其所在区域地下水管理计划的制定。该计划由部长任命的咨询委员会编制，委员会需代表所有相关利益方。在农业主导区域，拥有或占用该区域农业用地的农场主必须占委员会成员总数的至少一半。
