Victorian water accounts

Once a year, the Department produces the Victorian Water Accounts which provide an annual overview of water availability and use across Victoria at bulk supply level, including a detailed water account for each of Victoria's 29 river basins and 20 groundwater catchments. Scroll down for pdf versions of the current and past accounts.

There are also now two digital VWA offerings available. The Online Victorian Water Accounts (accounts.water.vic.gov.au) provide, for the first time, digital access to parts of the yearly Victorian Water Accounts. The Online Victorian Water Accounts cover the surface water distribution system sections of the accounts. The platform allows you to explore the use and availability in the river basin, water corporation or town of your choice using an interactive map. You will also be able to download datasets of past data for each basin.

The Online Water Accounts complement the digital Highlights (howmuch.water,vic.gov.au) and the 2018-19 Victorian Water Accounts report released in July this year. The ‘Highlights’ explain Victorian’s Water Entitlement and Management Frameworks and show how water trends are changing over time. The Online Water Accounts provide detailed information at a catchment scale about the availability and use of water in Victoria each year.
