Description
The Northern Territory Water Management Areas define the boundary extents of Water Management Zones within Water Allocation Plan areas and Water Control Districts as determined by the Minister as statutory instruments under the Water Act 1992, for the purpose of surface water and groundwater management.
WATER CONTROL DISTRICTS provide a basis for administering the management of the extent and distribution of surface water and groundwater resources.
WATER ALLOCATION PLAN AREAS apply to specific water resources within a Water Control District and ensure that water extraction of the resource is undertaken in a sustainable and equitable manner. Plans are declared by the Minister for a specific time frame with a maximum of ten years.
WATER PLAN MANAGEMENT ZONES apply to specific areas located within a Water Allocation Plan Area and are generally established to reduce local short term impacts of extraction. Rules for each zone are defined in water allocation plans to determine how water can be used and/or traded.
TIWI WATER RESOURCE STRATEGY is no longer administered by DENR, it is now manage by the Tiwi Land Council.
The boundary extents of DRAFT areas are subject to change and must be labeled "Draft" on any derivative products.
Individual maps and spatial data are available for each specific water management area.

Data Quality
Lineage:The boundary extent for each of the NT Water Management Areas were created by various officers using a range of GIS software with reference to cadastral boundaries, topographic, hydrogeological, surface water and/or catchment datasets. The particular of each boundaries are written on each water management areas government gazettes.
Positional Accuracy:Data stored in geographic coordinates using horizontal datum GDA94.
The polygon boundary for each management area is combined and updated into a Northern Territory dataset using an ESRI ArcGIS File Geo-database. Topological rules state that Water Allocation Plan areas must be within Water Control Districts and that Water Plan Management Zones must be within Water Allocation Plan areas
Attribute Accuracy:All polygons attributed using the data dictionary as described below
Logical Consistency:All polygons are closed and labelled using the prescribed data dictionary
Completeness:DRAFT areas are subject to change.
