NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

Our department is responsible for water security and managing NSW water resources, including surface and groundwater management. We also ensure equitable sharing of surface and groundwater resources and that water entitlements and allocations are secure and tradeable.

Through planning, policy and regulation and leads negotiations with the Commonwealth, including the Murray-Darling Basin Authority and other jurisdictions, we’re working towards delivering on the NSW Government’s water goals.
