NSW Water Theme – Hydro Area

Please NoteWGS 84 service aligned to GDA94This
 dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in 
misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service 
with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 
and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.In due course, and allowing time 
for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service 
name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Water Theme - Hydro AreaContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW Hydro Area is a polygon feature class defining hydrographic feature types. This feature class is divided into waterbody area and water course. Features within a Hydro Area class include:Waterbody - is a standard body of inland water of which flow is minor. Waterbody may be natural waterbody or man-made waterbody.Watercourse - is a way or course through which water may pass.Hydro Area feature class is also classified as perennial, non- perennial or mainly dry.Water security is one of Australia’s major challenges.Key users of the hydrology data are NSW State and Local Government agencies as well as Federal Government agencies. These bodies use this data to better manage State and Local Government assets. This hydrology data provides the NSW component of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric which is a critical input to the Australian Water Resources Information System.More widespread use of the hydrology data is also found in emergency management response and recovery efforts, hazard mitigation or disaster risk reduction, climate change, natural resource assessment, environmental planning and monitoring, insurance, mining and agriculture.Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians; by data verification from other internal and external databases; research and through Spatial Services’ regular cycle of updating from aerial imagery and elevation data.Initial Publication Date06/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution©

 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.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:3857WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen
