NSW General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR)

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. Our General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1). We produce annual GPWAR for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. We release these reports following the closure of a water year. The annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.
