Description

This report describes the Berry Springs Water Allocation Plan that has been developed in accordance with the Water Act 1992 (the Act) and applies to an area of 105 km² within the Darwin Rural Water Control District, enclosing the Berry Springs Dolostone Aquifer System. The surface water resources and the aquifer system in this area are connected and extraction from either system affects water supplies for ecosystems that depend on dry season flows in the Darwin River and Berry Creek. The report describes the integrated management of the two water resource systems and also the objectives of the Plan.,
