U_WETRE Text (UTF-8 encoded) 69 Wetland Regional Ecosystem (Habitat) URL
HYD_AQNA_L Text (UTF-8 encoded) 24 Aquifer Name (Landscape) Name of the source aquifer or aquifer ecosystem. Commonly the name of the source aquifer refers to the geological formation in which it exists.

Additional human language abstract/description

This information is a compilation of location data for point wetland features (rockholes and other wetlands too small to be depicted in wetland areas) from the following sources: Silcock, J. (2009); Glanville, K. (in-prep); and the Queensland Springs Database.

Resource purpose/summary
To report and monitor change in wetland extent and type.

Data quality report, measure description
The location and attributes for nearly all points has been verified by field survey and GPS.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
Positional accuracy varies from ± 0.2m to ± 100m depending on GPS technology employed during surveys. The positional accuracy of point features mapped at a scale of 1:100 000 is +/-100 metres.
This dataset is GDA2020 compatible. The source data, and therefore the captured features are georeferenced as GDA94 (horizontal only).  The horizontal accuracy of the geo-referencing and/or data collection method for this example is greater than the datum offset between GDA94 and GDA2020 (1.8 meters).  The resulting dataset has been nominated as a low-accuracy GDA2020 dataset. As this data has not directly measured in GDA2020, nor transformed to GDA2020 the resulting data is 'GDA2020 Compatible', not Compliant.
