residential water means the total amount of metered and estimated non‑metered, potable and non‑potable water supplied to residential properties.

self extract means to take water directly from a water resource for the use of the person who takes the water, but does not include taking water:

(a) to provide it to another person; or

(b) under a stock and domestic right; or

(b) from an infrastructure operator.

tidal limit, in relation to a watercourse, means the maximum upstream location on that watercourse at which a tidal variation in water level is observed.

total nitrogen, in relation to a water sample, means the measure of all forms of nitrogen found in the water sample, including nitrate, nitrite, ammonia‑N and organic forms of nitrogen.

total phosphorus, in relation to a water sample, means the total concentration of all forms of phosphorus found in the water sample.

total suspended solids, in relation to a water sample, means the measure of the particles mixed in the water sample.

turbidity, in relation to a water sample, means the amount of small particles of solid matter suspended in the water sample, measured by the amount of scattering and absorption of light rays caused by the particles.

upward longwave exposure means the total amount of terrestrial electromagnetic energy emitted from the Earth’s surface that irradiates a specified unit horizontal surface from underneath.

upward longwave irradiance means the longwave irradiance emitted by the Earth’s surface that irradiates a specified unit horizontal surface from underneath.

urban water means the total residential, commercial, municipal, industrial and other water supplied by urban water utilities.

vapour pressure deficit means the difference between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated.

water management area means any area defined for the purposes of water management, including a water resource plan area.

wet‑bulb air temperature means the temperature of air measured by a thermometer that has its bulb wrapped in wet muslin.

wind run means the product of the average wind speed and the period over which that average speed was measured.
