The environmental water management program (EWMP) refers to the management by the Office of Environment and Heritage of allocated environmental water. Allocated environmental water includes:
- planned environmental water allowances (or environmental contingency allowances) accrued through the relevant regulated river water-sharing plans (www.water.nsw.gov.au/Water-Management/default.aspx). The NSW Office of Water (NOW) has delegated the use of this water to the Office of Environment and Heritage.
- adaptive environmental water licences arising from both the purchase of entitlements by governments and the recovery of water through savings generated by infrastructure projects.
