It is a crucial mechanism for ensuring the long-term annual sustainable diversion limits (SDLs) set under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan are not exceeded, and that enough water is available for the environment. APT is the maximum amount of water permitted to be taken for consumptive purposes each year, and has been enforced since July 2019 A method for determining APT is part of each water resource plans (WRPs) developed by the Basin states under the Commonwealth Water Act 2007. When the method is applied over the Basin Plan reference period (1895–2009), the annual APT must be equal to or less than SDL. An APT model is a major component of the APT calculation method. It is used to calculate the APT that would be expected in a year, given that year’s water availability and climatic conditions. APT is calculated at the end of each year and compared to actual take in that year, with the difference added to a public register of take. SDL compliance is tracked using the cumulative difference (from water year 2019–20). APT models are configured using estimates of the river management and development (public and private infrastructure) conditions in a river system across the water resource plan period. These estimates include: • irrigated crop area and planting decisions • water entitlement holders’ distribution and use patterns • how storages are operated to supply water for consumption and the environment. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[141.7, -34.12], [141.7, -28.7], [149.3, -28.7], [149.3, -34.12], [141.7, -34.12]]]} 141.7 149.3 -34.12 -28.7 DCCEEW - Water DCCEEW - Water Analytics modelling surface water Data Quality Statement documentDigital PDF 416050_Barwon@USPresburyWeir documentDigital ZIP 422001_Barwon@DangarBridge documentDigital ZIP 422002_Barwon@Brewarrina documentDigital ZIP 422003_Barwon@Collarenebri documentDigital ZIP 422004_Barwon@MogilMogil documentDigital ZIP 422025_Barwon@Tara documentDigital ZIP 422027_Barwon@Geera documentDigital ZIP 422028_Barwon@Beemery documentDigital ZIP 425003_Darling@BourkeTown documentDigital ZIP 425004_Darling@Louth documentDigital ZIP 425008_Darling@WilcanniaMainChannel documentDigital ZIP 425039_Darling@Warraweena documentDigital ZIP 425900_Darling@Tilpa documentDigital ZIP Map View for data download documentDigital ARCGIS REST SERVICE
