The Water Register is the public register of all water-related entitlements in Victoria. It records:

who has been issued with water shares and the reliability, tenure, location and holding in megalitres (ML) for each water share
how much water has been allocated against water shares, how much has been used, and where it was used
registered interests in water shares, such as mortgages and leases.

It also provides summary reports on volume of water shares in each water system, annual allocation, use and the trading history, including average prices for each water system.
