Service Description: Regional water strategy (RWS) areas define the boundaries of regions in NSW for which regional water strategies are prepared. The boundaries of RWS areas define the geographic region for which an individual regional water strategy is developed.Regional water strategies are used to plan and manage the water needs in each NSW region over the next 20-40 years. They set out long-term 'roadmaps' of actions to deliver five objectives:<ul><li>Deliver and manage water for local communities</li><li>Enable economic prosperity</li><li>Recognise and protect Aboriginal cultural values and rights</li><li>Protect and enhance the environment</li><li>Affordability (identify least cost policy and infrastructure options).</li></ul>The boundaries of regional water strategy (RWS) areas mostly, but not exclusively, align with boundaries for other water planning instruments in NSW:<ul><li>In coastal areas, RWS boundaries align with Water Sharing Plan boundaries</li><li>In inland areas, RWS boundaries align with Water Resource Plan boundaries. The NSW Murray RWS also includes the area for the Wentworth weir pool. Its boundary is further defined using the Bureau of Meteorology's (BoM) geofabric AHGF Catchment layer to include the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool. The Fish River-Wywandy RWS boundary was also further defined using the BoM geofabric, local council boundaries and National Parks Estate boundaries.</li></ul>
