About this dataset

Export Data Access API NSW Water Theme GDA2020 Service Metadata Portal Metadata Information Content Title NSW Water Theme GDA2020 Service Content Type Hosted Feature Layer Description The Water theme is based on hydrology which is the study of the movement, distribution and quality of water. This includes the hydrologic cycles, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability. Hydrology includes surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management and water quality where water plays the central role. Water (surface water and groundwater) is concerned with information as aligned with the definitions under the Water Act 2007. This theme includes Hydrology elements which are described as: Surface Water - water in a watercourse, lake or wetland or any water flowing over or lying on land, either after having precipitated naturally after rain or having risen to the surface naturally from underground. Groundwater - water occurring at a place below ground that has been pumped, diverted or released to that place for the purpose of being stored there. Does not include water held in underground tanks, pipes or other works.

For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.au Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets NSW Water Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Accuracy This dataset was captured by utilising the best available source at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
