Comments: This dataset contains best endeavours aggregation and depiction of in-force Water Sharing Plans (WSP) across NSW. The data includes both water sources and management zones (where applicable), for Groundwater Sources, Unregulated River Sources, Regulated water sources and Management Zones (or a combination of these) derived from WSP’s gazetted under the NSW Water Management Act 2000.The boundaries of these water sources and management zones are used to define areas in which specific management rules apply. As such, this data may be used to understand which water sharing plan rules apply to a specific location. The plans are in place for 10 years but may be amended within this time. This dataset is intended to be updated to include relevant updates as water sharing plans commence or are amended.Lineage:The lineage statement has been added to the metadata as at 10/02/2026.Groundwater WSPs:10th February 2026: Data includes current WSPs as at February 2026Regulated WSPs:October 4th 2024: NSW Border Rivers Regulated River Water Source 2021 – amended 04/10/2024 (add back Severn River downstream of Pindari Dam) February 2nd, 2025: correction only.
