Other Organisations and Items of Interest
- Do you want a picture of water in Australia - facts and figures about rainfall, runoff, groundwater, irrigation, effects on biodiversity and more? Earth Systems Australian Water map might be just what you are looking for.
The Australian Water Map draws together a wide range of water-related data into a single resource. The data presented on the poster-sized map (58 charts and over 400 spatial information points) has been independently reviewed by a multi-disciplinary technical steering committee with expertise in the water sector. Consequently The Australian Water Map provides a balanced, factual and interesting view of Australia’s water resources, covering topics such as rainfall and runoff, aquatic biodiversity, pollution, water use, water recycling initiatives and water history. It is a key resource for all individuals and organisations with an interest in water or the environment.
