Murrumbidgee River System Long-Term Average Annual Extraction Limits

Modelled data for assessing compliance with Long-Term Average Annual Extraction Limits (LTAAEL) in the Murrumbidgee river system. The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water produces this data annually using configured water models to represent water sharing plan rules. The dataset contains simulated flows at several gauges for comparison with other scenario models like the Annual Permitted Take model.

Use Cases

• Assess regulatory compliance based on modelled long-term average annual extractions.
• Compare river system flows simulated under water sharing plan rules with other development scenarios.
• Analyze water extraction sustainability trends based on annual compliance assessments.
• Support reviews of water sharing plans by the Natural Resources Commission.

Strengths

• Data is produced annually using the best available models, as stated in the description.
• Flows are simulated at several gauges within each river system, providing multiple points of analysis.
• Model is configured to represent specific water sharing plan development and management rules.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
