It covers the entire area overlying the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) within the Northern Territory and is abbreviated here as ?NT-GAB?. This assessment of wetlands provides information for the Water Allocation Plan being prepared for the Water Control District. The main emphasis of the allocation plan will be sustainable management of the groundwater resource. However, water allocation plans in the Northern Territory also cover surface water resources and any interaction between groundwater and dependent ecosystems, and plans are required to consider the water requirements for the natural environment
