The Water Register is a public register of all water-related entitlements in Victoria. It has been designed and built to record water entitlements with integrity and provide crucial information for managing Victoria’s water resources.

The Water Register:

• holds water shares recorded by the Victorian Water Registrar, together with mortgages and limited term transfers (leases) relevant to these water shares
• holds records of licences to take and use surface water and groundwater
• holds records of works-related licences
• records water allocations that are available in the current season
• tracks and reconciles volumes of water entitlements by water system and trading zone
• holds water-use licences and delivery shares that are managed by water corporations
• includes workflows to process water dealings, and keeps audit trails
• generates statistics and reports on levels of use, directions of trade, and prices paid
