Final issue of Water on Australian Farms
This is the final issue of Water on Australian Farms and contains estimates for 2020-21. For more recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates on agricultural water use please refer to Water Account, Australia.
The ABS is continuing to investigate new approaches to produce agricultural water use statistics from existing satellite mapping and administrative data sources in partnership with industry, academia and government. Changes to ABS agriculture statistics were outlined in early 2023 in Modernising ABS Agriculture Statistics which explained why the ABS is modernising its Agriculture Statistics Program and the guiding principles being followed.
