NSW General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR)

Created 13/11/2025

Updated 13/11/2025

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. Our General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1). We produce annual GPWAR for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. We release these reports following the closure of a water year. The annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.

Note: Datasets that form part of the General Purpose Water Account Reports are published here:
