Learn about our water use in your local catchment

Our interactive map shows how we are delivering water for the environment in your region.

 

The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is responsible for the delivery of all water for the environment in New South Wales. This includes water held by the NSW Government, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder and Basin states under the Living Murray program, as well as water made available to the environment under Water Sharing Plans.

The total volumes delivered from all types of water for the environment are shown for each catchment this water year. The presented use figures are best available estimates at the time of reporting.
