The SDLs represent the maximum long-term average quantities of water that can be taken for consumption in any one year, i.e. the long-term average annual limit. An SDL will be set for all diversions in each of the 29 surface-water SDL areas that have been established for the Basin Plan.

New South Wales: - Surface water planning areas (water sharing plans) (as containde in the data files titled: SurfaceWaterWSP.dbf, SurfaceWaterWSP.prj, SurfaceWaterWSP.sbn, SurfaceWaterWSP.sbx, SurfaceWaterWSP.shp, SurfaceWaterWSP.shx) provided by the State of New South Wales (Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water). Victoria: - Northern Region SWS Boundary and Western Region SWS Boundary datasets provided by the State of Victoria (Department of Sustainability and Environment). South Australia: - Prescribed water resources provided by the State of South Australia (Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation). Following are the original datasets provided to MDBA: - PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.dbf, PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.prj, PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.sbn, PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.sbx, PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.shp, PrescribedWaterResourceAreas.shx - PrescribedWatercourses.dbf, PrescribedWatercourses.prj, PrescribedWatercourses.sbn, PrescribedWatercourses.sbx, PrescribedWatercourses.shp, PrescribedWatercourses.shx - PrescribedWells.dbf, PrescribedWells.prj, PrescribedWells.sbn, PrescribedWells.sbx, PrescribedWells.shp, PrescribedWells.shx Positional Accuracy: The dataset is a composite product and the positional accuracy depends on the source datasets specified under the heading 'Lineage'. Attribute Accuracy: Attribute information is estimated to be accurate. Feature ID and name were provided to the NRI unit by the respective MDBA program area. Attribute information is also published in the Guide to the Proposed Basin Plan. Some differences might occur in lower or upper case, hyphen, em dash, and abbreviation of State names. Logical Consistency: All features were topologically checked to verify no overlaps or gaps between features. Basin and State boundaries were aligned to MDB and State boundaries (GEODATA TOPO 250K) provided by SEWPAC and Geoscience Australia respectively.
