What is the difference between a water report entity and a preparer of a GPWAR?
A water report entity is a water entity (geographic region, water system, organisation or individual), which is required to prepare a GPWAR. The report preparer is the organisation or person responsible for preparing the GPWAR. For example, the water accounts of a particular geographic region might be prepared by the appropriate state or territory department. In some cases, where regions of interest cross political borders, other entities might also be appropriate report preparers (such as the Murray-Darling Basin Authority). As a guide, the entity which is primarily accountable for the management of the water report entity will usually be the most appropriate report preparer. However, in the case of highly aggregated water reports, one organisation may oversee report preparation (such as the Bureau of Meteorology in the preparation of the NWA).
