Celebrating National Water Week 2025

The theme for the 2025 National Water Week (20-26 October) is Bring Water into Focus. Water is not just a resource; it is an invisible thread connecting everything in our lives.
By making our datasets available to the public and giving you the opportunity to discuss these in our Water Hub forum, we hope that together, we can highlight the value of water and the research that we undertake to inform our policies, strategies and plans.
So, who uses our data?

The theme for the 2025 National Water Week (20-26 October) is Bring Water into Focus. Water is not just a resource; it is an invisible thread connecting everything in our lives.
By making our datasets available to the public and giving you the opportunity to discuss these in our Water Hub forum, we hope that together, we can highlight the value of water and the research that we undertake to inform our policies, strategies and plans.
So, who uses our data?

Researchers use our datasets to supplement their own observations, or they analyse our raw data to create new information.  For example, the authors of the paper " Examining past and projecting future: an 800 year streamflow reconstruction of the Australian Murray river" used our ever-popular River Basin Maps and Water Monitoring Gauging Stations Details.

Join the conversation and let us know where you have used our data!

River Basin Maps and Water Monitoring Gauging Station Details (Pinneena Maps)

Overview

A series of maps that show water monitoring stations (gauging stations) across New South Wales. This map series, formerly known as the Pinneena maps, was created as part of a major project in 2011. ### Each map includes stations which fall in the following categories: ### * __Current with significant data:__ Gauging stations that were active and have significant data or had been established as of March 2011. ### * __Current without significant data:__ Gauging stations that were active but didn't have significant data as of March 2011. ### * __Discontinued or moved:__ Gauging station...

Hydrologists use these continuous records to make predictions and decisions concerning water level, flood activity and control, navigation, and the like. Note: The maps are best displayed at A3 paper size. ###__Data disclaimer__ These water monitoring station maps were created as part of a project completed in March 2011, and have not been updated to include more recent data or information. The information contained in these maps should be used as a reference only, as the actual location or category of some gauging stations may have changed. ### The maps use the following datasets (all licensed under ‘Creative Commons Attribution’) supplied by other agencies: ### * __Spatial Services (New South Wales Department of Customer Service)__ Hydro Line (Rivers/Creeks) spatial data is a dataset of mapped watercourses and waterbodies in NSW. They can be referenced as ‘ NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework – Water – NSW Hydro Line’. © Spatial Services [2011] ### * __Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology__ Australia’s River Basins (Catchment boundaries) spatial data uses the Australia’s River Basin 1997 dataset.

This particular pdf (which is designed to be printed A3 back-to-back) is attached and titled: __zz_PINNEENA_A3_MARCH2011_FINAL.pdf__
