Victorian Recycled Water Availability Map with Treatment Classes and Volumes

A geospatial dataset from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, last updated on 2026-04 -27, shows where recycled water is available across Victoria. It includes indicative volumes, treatment plant locations, and classifies water into three quality classes (A, B, C) that determine safe uses for residential, agricultural, and industrial purposes. The map supports planning for sustainable water use by connecting supply with potential demand.

Use Cases

• Site suitability analysis for non-potable water projects based on recycled water availability and class.
• Demand-supply modeling for sustainable irrigation based on indicative volumes and treatment plant locations.
• Risk assessment for agricultural water use based on the three treatment quality classes and their permitted applications.

Strengths

• Data is structured around a clear three-class (A, B, C) framework for recycled water quality and safe uses.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (WMS, SHP, GDB, etc.) for compatibility with various GIS tools.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
