Lineage

An extract from the National Abstraction Licensing Database (NALD) was taken of 6 years of abstraction returns data. Details on the licence holder and the abstraction points were also extracted. This data was combine with information on the water bodies used as abstraction sources from the WFDC3_Water_Bodies_and_Boundaries.lyr ESRI ArcMap GIS layer. The potential for trade was calculated by taking an average of the abstracted volume of water over the 6 year period. The percentage of the annual authorised quantity licensed was then calculated. The values were then grouped by 'case by case basis', 'medium potential to trade' and 'high potential to trade'.
