The Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse is a site dedicated to disseminating up-to-date information on Victoria’s water resources through the World Wide Web. The site gives access to both raw and summary data on both water quality and quantity throughout Victoria, and is a central repository for published documents produced from this data.

The site offers you a number of choices in how you access this information and a short description of each is included below:

Maps for Site Selection
This link allows you to narrow down the sites you are interested in by clicking on a map of the State. Once you have chosen your site in this way, the relevant data will be accessible.

Standard Warehouse Reports
This link provides access to summary information for sites such as average monthly flows, annual summary statistics and active site lists.

Individual Site Information
Use this link if you already know the site name or number you are interested in and want to find out information about the site such as parameters measured, location, contractor, rating table etc.

Extract Data from Warehouse
This link allows you to develop a query to narrow down the data you are interested in. For example you could extract a site list for sites that are both in the West Gippsland CMA, and that have phosphorus results greater than 1 mg/l. There are a range of parameters which you can alter to adjust your query.

Browse Statistics and Data
This link allows you to browse through summary statistics and "drill down" into the data. For example you might look at annual flows for a range of sites and then choose to look at the monthly flows for a particular site by clicking on the annual flow result.

Measure by Measure Analysis
This link is similar to the Extract Data from Warehouse page but it allows you to create a graph of one measure vs. another. For example you could look at stream flow vs. total phosphorus results for a site or examine both parameters as a time series.

DSE Published Documents
This link provides access to documents published as part of the water resources monitoring program of DSE including trend analysis for the whole state. Documents are provided in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format (you can download the FREE Acrobat Reader from http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/)

Send Comments/Requests to Warehouse Manager
This link allows comments and/or data requests to be sent to the warehouse manager. This option allows you to order a CD-ROM copy of data if you are after a very large data request.
