Water Resources Authority
Jamaica's water regulator with abstraction licensing, hydrological data and flood mapping
What it does
The Water Resources Authority regulates, protects and manages Jamaica's water resources. Its core functions set out on the site are allocation, which covers licensing of surface and underground water abstraction, assessment of water quality and participation in environmental impact assessments, and monitoring through a national network of streamflow gauging stations and groundwater monitoring wells.
The site provides access to the authority's hydrological database and Water Information System, flood mapping and GIS tools, and a library catalogue of research material. Forms and fee schedules for abstraction licensing are published alongside a glossary of water terms.
Policy and planning documents on the site include the authority's master plan in online and PDF form, the Water Sector Policy, the Watersheds Policy and the Water Resources Act, and a media section carries annual reports, technical publications, news and speeches.
