Estimated Level of Use - Darwin Rural Groundwater Resources

The spatial dataset describes the estimated use of groundwater resources within the Darwin Rural Water Control District. Users should refer to the date that the estimated level of use was generated.

A desktop assessment describes an estimated level of use for each groundwater resource (management) zone. This supports investigations for a better understanding of the use of groundwater, in particular, the groundwater resource zones that do not have a current management plan. The data is intended to clarify the department's position in relation to water availability in the 12 groundwater resource zones in the Darwin Rural Water Control District and Palmerston Municipal area. It does not include consideration of surface water resources in these areas.
