The Accounts provide a year-by-year overview of water availability and use across Victoria at a bulk supply level. This includes a detailed water account for each of Victoria's 29 river basins and 20 groundwater catchments. Since 2003\u201304, we have published the Accounts each year in the form of a report.\nAccounts for earlier years going back to 2003 remain available as PDFs on the Victorian Water Accounts website.\nGroundwater is found in the spaces and fractures in rock and sediment beneath the ground\u2019s surface.\nWhere groundwater is held within an aquifer it can be pumped to the surface for use.\nThis page reports on statewide groundwater use, entitlements and compliance and trade for 2021-22.\nGroundwater information is reported in these accounts by groundwater catchments or groundwater management units (GMUs).\nLocal reports can be selected and viewed by either GMU or groundwater catchment via the groundwater local reports page.\nThere are 20 groundwater catchments, 8 in the north and 12 in the south.\nWithin groundwater catchments, there are smaller management units \u2014 groundwater management units (GMUs) \u2014 which are either water supply protection areas (WSPAs) or groundwater management areas (GMAs). Groundwater resources that are licensed and used outside a WSPA or GMA are reported as \u2018outside management units\u2019.\nThere are 55 GMUs, and of these there are 44 GMAs and 11 WSPAs.\nMore information:\n\nGroundwater resources are explained in Water resources\nWater management is detailed in How is water managed?\nGroundwater accounting is detailed in How do we account for water?\n", "num_resources": 2, "num_tags": 3, "organization": {"id": "1a204803-054d-4d42-ab8a-8bc273230a17", "name": "water-and-catchments-victoria-government", "title": "Water and Catchments", "type": "organization", "description": "The Water and Catchments Group works with people and organisations to ensure that Victoria has safe, sustainable and productive water resources.\r\n\r\n<div>We are part of Victoria's Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
