Hobart, Tasmania

Under predicted climate change, Hobart is expected to receive increased rainfall, and therefore, will most likely receive increased water supplies (Pittock 2003).

At current, Tasmania uses up to 2% of Australia's total water supply (DEH 2005). In addition, 7 out of 19 surface water management areas and none of the 17 groundwater units are classified as being highly or overdeveloped.
