IGWC releases metering report card 2023-24
IGWC released the 2023-2024 metering report card, providing an overview of how Basin States are progressing national metering standards. The
report looks provides a snapshot of the progression towards AS4747 meters with NSW increasing their coverage of AS4747 meters, just behind
Victoria which has the highest number. The report card does highlight the areas where NSW and QLD are still using estimates for water take,
although these percentages are expected to decline with the roll-out of floodplain harvesting metering which has only just began.
It is important to note that the report card refers to productive/commercial extraction of water, and therefore does not report on
environmental water measurement.
