The data and geospatial datasets are some of our department's most critical assets.
They are used to inform and evidence our regulatory, compliance and enforcement functions, as well as to enable vital science and planning capabilities that lead strategic policy development about future water and environmental resource protection outcomes.
Below are links to a set of interactive mapping tools, specific to the Water Science directorate, managed by our department.
Within the maps you’ll be able to discover, interrogate, and in some instances request information on Western Australia's water resources including floodplain mapping and flood risk, depth to groundwater, garden bore suitability, water availability and water licensing.
