Part 1: Overview of Victorian Water Resources

Part 1 of the State Water Report 2003-2004 is an overview of Victoria's water resources. The overview is a commentary on the status of our water resources in 2003/04 and, where available, uses data from previous years to help identify emerging issues and trends. Water information is summarised at a statewide level and includes aspects such as the availability of water in 2003/04, how much water was used for consumption, and the volume of entitlements to water.
