Science, data, modelling and maps

Water is a limited resource and must be managed both for immediate needs and for long-term economic and environmental sustainability. With the effects of climate change, and increasing demands for water, sound policies are required to ensure a sustainable supply of water for present and future generations.

    Data

    We are Australia's largest water monitoring agency, with over 5,000 monitoring stations measuring the quality and quantity of water across New South Wales.

  3. waterdrop

    Modelling

    We use a range of modelling techniques to understand how our river and groundwater systems behave to help us help predict what will happen in a variety of scenarios.
