Thanks to a national network of recording stations, Australia can keep a detailed watch on how much rain falls, how much water is stored in dams and even an idea of how much water flows in most rivers.
National Water Commission Chairman Ken Matthews and Commissioner Peter Cullen have released findings of the second stage of baseline assessment of water resources for the National Water Initiative.
Annual streamflow into the Murray-Darling Basin is likely to fall by 10-25% by 2050 and by 16-48% by 2100 according to a leading Australian expert on the effects of climate change on our river systems.
Using bore water on ovals and parks may seem prudent in a drought, but unregulated use of underground aquifers could lead to environmental disaster, according to leading Australian groundwater experts.
Climate change and bush fires pose a major threat to alpine water security.
The National Water Commission has released a national seasonal water outlook report showing the impact that drought conditions are having on our water resources.
Mr Gary Johnston CEO of Jaycar Electronics has donated $1 million to create Australia's first Chair of Water Management and help forge a research team of scientists and engineers based at UNSW.
Groundwater levels and aquifer storage
There are two common mistakes often made when calculating how much groundwater storage levels have changed.
