Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Groundwater management areas are identified by lead water agencies in each State and Territory for management and reporting purposes. Groundwater management area boundaries are created by lead water agencies on the basis of natural catchment or aquifer boundaries, as well as administrative and management boundaries. These jurisdictional datasets have been integrated into a single national dataset by the Bureau for use in water products. This data also contains entitlement limits, water access rights and yearly extractions, which are all expressed in megalitresNSW boundaries updated in July 2026 with data provided by the Department of Planning and EnvironmentNT boundaries updated in July 2026 with data provided by the Department of Environment, Parks and Water SecurityQld boundaries updated in July 2026 with data provided by the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and WaterVic boundaries updated in July 2026 with data provided by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate ActionWA boundaries updated in July 2026 with data provided by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation
