Dataset: Gloucester river types V03


Description

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

The dataset is derived from the original River Types shapefile provided the NSW Office of Water for the Gloucester Basin. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gloucester Assessment Extent using the "clip" function in ArcGIS. It is similar to Version 2 except that stream lines are clipped to Gloucester Assessment Extent (AE) instead of the Preliminary Assessment Extent (PAE).

The AE is slightly larger than the PAE

Dataset History

The dataset is derived from the original River Types shapefile provided the NSW Office of Water for the Gloucester Basin. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gloucester Assessment Extent using the "clip" function in ArcGIS.

The source spatial layer is derived from an Ecohydrology classification product, which is used to identify river hydrology classification base of the degree on intermittency flow of the rivers (see section 1.3.2 How Ecohydrology Classification is used). The riverine features are identified using the River Style® mapping (see section 1.3.3 How River Styles® is used).
