21.1 Surface water allocation announcements
Supporting information
The volume recognised in the water accounting statements of 3,600 ML represents the total water allocation for surface water supply to individual users in the Daly region during the 2012–13 year.
The Department of Land Resource Management (The Department) administers 23 separate licences in this category held by individual licensees. The water supply licences are divided into licence entitlement purposes. The following table shows the annual allocation announcement for each licence purpose, from each surface water resource, for the 2012–13 year.
