HUN AWRA-R River Reaches Simulation v01

## **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. 



HUN AWRA-R River Reaches Calibration v01 depicts the 'blue line' drainage network used in the river model AWRA-R. It includes information on stream length for each river reach defined in the river model node-link network. This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from existing 'blue line data' obtained from DPI Water (Riverstyles Spatial Layer for New South Wales).

## **Purpose** 

AWRA-R requires stream length of each stream within a river reach in AWRA-R in order to estimate model parameters related to in-stream losses and routing.

## **Dataset History** 

HUN AWRA-R River Reaches Calibration v01 is created from a river map of NSW (described in the lineage) which is overlain and clipped by a river reach map from the Topo250k dataset, which in turn is defined by a subset of streamflow gauges. Only the river network between upstream and downstream gauges (may have multiple upstream gauges) are considered, the rest are manually selected and removed.

HUN SW footprint shapefiles v01

## **Abstract** 

This is a source dataset created by the Bioregional Assessment Programme without the use of source data.



This dataset contains all of the surface water footprint polygons that were created from mining reports that were used in the surface water modelling. There is also a document with the source references for all of the footprints included in the dataset.

## **Dataset History** 

Environmental impact statements and similar documents were downloaded from New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment Major Projects website, and from mining companies' websites. To obtain mine footprints for surface water modelling, the mining reports were searched for past and future projected mine layouts and surface water contributing areas. Each figure was digitised and georeferenced using one of four methods:



1. The preferred method was to use maps or plans with coordinates already on them. 

2. If there were no coordinates, then three point locations were matched with points on Google Earth and the latitude and longitude from Google Earth were used to georeference the image. 

3. If there were not three clearly identifiable point locations in the image, then supplementary points were found by matching contour information to the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM-S) grid

Dataset GUID -  12e0731d-96dd-49cc-aa21-ebfd65a3f67a  

4. Other site-specific approaches: a. Mangoola Coal Mine did not have adequate georeferencing points in the Year 10 and Final Landform images so these images were georeferenced to the matching project boundary in the other Mangoola Coal Mine images. 

b. The West Wallsend Colliery existing pit top surface facilities image, containing a satellite photo background, was georeferenced using Google Earth. The West Wallsend Colliery pit top facility outline was used to georeference the water management system image as they both contained the same outline. 



These areas were exported as polygon files (\*.poly) using Geosoft Oasis Montaj software.



A list of documents used for creating these polygon files are also included in the dataset

## **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. 



Nested contributing catchments for selected stream gauges in the Hunter subregion. Generated from the Geoscience Austraila 9 second flow direction grid. Catchments exist as both a geodatabase grid and a shapefile version.

## **Dataset History** 

Selected gauge locations were used as pour points to generate contributing catchment areas from the GA 9 second flow direction raster. The catchment delineation was achieved using the ArcGIS 10.1 Spatial Analyst WATERSHED tool from the Hydrology toolbox. Resultant watershed raster was also converted to a shapefile (no generalisation).

NoW Namoi Water Quality - groundwater

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on the known details at the time of acquisition. This dataset replaces the original dataset supplied by NSW Office of Water which did not include individual pipe identifiers.

The NSW Office of Water (NoW) provided water quality data for the Namoi region. The data includes continuously monitored sites and discrete monitored sites. Sites with a GW prefix represent groundwater sites. Groundwater sites can be linked to their locational information through the NSW NGIS (provided by the Bureau of Meteorology). Groundwater sites in NSW have a 3 part naming convention representing the site/station, the bore hole number and the pipe number (eg. GW273033.2.1) Sites in the original dataset provided "discrete WQ data for the Namoi" and "continuously monitored WQ data for the Namoi" only provide the site/station number. Therefore if the site has multiple bores or pipes, the water quality information can not be attributed to a singe pipe/ aquifer. Further information was requested from NoW "WQ requests with pipes Lot1 to Lot4". This links data to the site/station and bore, but again not down to the individual pipe. Therefore data can be used where there is only single pipes within the bore. Further information from NSW is as follows "It is noted that some bores did not have pipe numbers, few ,inspite of the fact they had more than one pipe ( GW021086) the pipe number is not indicated. Most have only one pipe ( eg: GW062680, GW037947) . The dataset has been further interrogated by the Groundwater Team at the Bureau of Meteorology to highlight sites that can be used for WQ, and those where the individual pipe/aquifer can not be identified. There are 3 tables in the access database. 1. 'Namoi GW_WQ' is the original dataset from NoW. 2. 'Namoi_WQ_pipes' is where the original dataset (table 1) has been linked to individual pipes from the NGIS (table3) and where the 'short name' field has been populated, the WQ reading can be linked to an individual pipe. 3. The NGIS bore information has been extracted from the NSW NGIS to try and link table 1 and table 2. Surface water quality information has already been provided  for Namoi which is directly from the Hydstra dataset provided by NSW

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. 



Northern Territory Water Allocation Plan Areas - Water Allocation Plans aim to ensure the equitable sharing of available water between users, to protect the environment and to ensure the long term sustainability of the water resource. They usually occur in regions where there are competing demands for water, there is a risk from water use to significant environmental values, or a need to manage the whole system (surface water and groundwater resources) due to significant inter-connection.

## **Dataset History** 

Through the Water Act, water control districts and water allocation plans, the Northern Territory Government is striving to achieve a sustainable balance between development and conservation so that residents, tourists and businesses can continue to enjoy the benefits derived from river and groundwater systems that are properly managed.



The Act provides the legal framework for the allocation of water to various declared beneficial uses including; agriculture, aquaculture, public water supply, stock and domestic use and industry while ensuring that adequate provisions are made to maintain cultural and environmental water requirements.



The Act allows for the declaration of water allocation plans within water control districts, ensuring water is equitably managed to preserve quality of life and the integrity of the water dependent ecosystems in the region.



A water allocation plan details the area and water resource to which the plan applies as well as the vision, objectives, strategies and performance indicators of the plan. It also sets limits to the availability of water assigned to each beneficial use, rules for managing licences and the rules for water trading.



The benefits of this water allocation planning process are:



    A transparent stakeholder driven plan that will protect environmental and human interests;

    Secure water extraction licences for the duration of the water allocation plan;

    An assurance that licences to extract water (from a source defined within the plan) will not be issued if they are deemed to have unacceptable repercussions on other beneficial uses, especially the environment;

    Establishment of a basis for the permanent trade of water from one location to another (within the area defined by the plan) subject to various rules;

    Protection of water related cultural values within the region; and

    Protection of water dependent ecosystems within the region.

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was derived from borehole data provided by the Northern Territory Department of Natural Resource Management. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived. 



Each groundwater works and associated licence is considered an element in the asset database. The element list was constructed from the NT Groundwater Licence Extract (as identified in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement).



The 'Class' of asset was added to the Groundwater licence extract which is an aggregate of the purpose field. All other fields remained as per the original dataset from NT.



This dataset has not been clipped to the PAE and includes all licences in NT.

## **Dataset History** 

The 'Class' field was added to the NT groundwater extract which is an aggregate of the purpose field.



Any purpose that was originally listed as "domestic" or "stock" only was classed as a basic water right.



Any purpose that was originally listed as an extractive use was classed as a water access right. This includes irrigation, mining, farming, etc.



Monitoring bores are classed as 'NA' as they do not contain an extractive purpose.
