Modifications

The Water Quality Improvement Plan catchments layer used by WetlandSummary is based on the source layers below, with the following modifications:

  • Name has the pattern "CatchmentName (NRM)", where CatchmentName is the value of a field in the source layer, with the specific field name looked up from a separate file based on the source layer, and NRM is a value direct from the lookup file
  • Excluded features from Eastern Cape York where Water_grou="Coastal / marine waters"
  • Transformed coordinate system of cy_subcatchments.shp from UTM Mercator_CapeYork to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
  • Transformed coordinate system of updated_NC_boundaries.shp from UTM GDA_1994_Australia_Albers to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
  • Transformed coordinate system of ACTFR_CCI_52subcatch_08_pr.shp from UTM GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55 to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
  • Transformed coordinate system of RC_ReceivingWaters_and_SubCatchments.shp from UTM GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55 to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
  • Transformed coordinate system of WQIP_Catchments_2015.shp from UTM GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55 to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
  • Fixed 81 invalid geometries
  • Excluded a total of 7 features by filtering
  • Combined features and attributes from 6 source layers
  • Dissolved 378 source features into 200 Water Quality Improvement Plan catchments

Description
Abstract
To be used for the wetland inventory/Coastal Catchments project

Subcatchments of the Burdekin basin, with the purpose of creating a wetland inventory per subcatchment for the CCI project. This layer has been created by grouping subcatchments from the Burdekin subcatchment layer from the BDTNRM, to fit within a broad subcatchment classification developed by ACTFR/BDTNRM. The goal was to create approximately 50 subcatchment of similar size, which do not cross the broad subactchment classification (Upper Burdekin, Central Burdekin, Cape River, Belyando-Suttor and Bowen Broken subcatchments)

Data Quality Information
Lineage
Data was created from smaller watercourse catchments digitisied from 1:100,000 topographic relief.
Positional Accuracy
Accuracy is relative to errors outlined in marginal information of original 1:100,000 topographic mapping. Further error was introduced during georeferencing of scanned topographic mapping. Data is intented to be used as a planning and aggregation tool and not for direct ground application. Use with assumed error of +/-50m
