The Australian Water Map, released in June 2003, and CD ROM, released in March 2005, summarise Australia’s key water-related data onto a factual, detailed and physically attractive map (900 mm x 1300mm) and CD ROM. The Australian Water Map comprises both a spatial element and a non-spatial component (accompanying charts and tables), and aims to increase awareness and knowledge of the issues, impacts and achievements associated with water across Australia. It presents information in an easily digestible form in two media (paper map and CD ROM) and covers a range of features, including Australia’s water resources, the use and management of those resources, as well as highlighting areas of both achievement and concern.

​

The Australian Water Map is a resource for all those with an interest in water-related issues – including professionals wanting a ready reference for key water trends, statistics and noteworthy events, and students wanting information about major issues facing Australia’s water resource management and use.
