The amount of groundwater that can be extracted from a groundwater source is limited. While the amount extracted by all water users varies each year, on average it cannot exceed the extraction limits (i.e. the long-term average annual extraction limit or the Sustainable Diversion Limit).

This dashboard uses the best available information at the time. The department will announce available water determinations and maximum water account debit on 1 July each year after considering final assessments.
