Namoi surface water mine footprints - compiled

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme a source dataset. The source dataset is 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 Namoi surface water mine footprints represents the area in a mine site that impacts surface runoff through interception preventing its entry to the natural stream network. The footprints includes the entire area disturbed by coal mine operations, including mine pits, roads, spoil dumps, water storages and infrastructure. It may also include otherwise undisturbed parts of the landscape from which natural runoff is drained into mine-disturbed areas or retained in reservoirs. As new parts of the mine lease areas are opened up and rehabilitated areas established, the footprint changes over the life of a mine's operation.



This dataset represents a compilation of all surface water mine footprints and has been classified according to the scenario (Baseline or CRDP). This dataset was developed for ease of display in map elements.

## **Dataset History** 

This dataset was created by merging the separate surface water mine footprint extents in ArcGIS.

## **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.



NSW delivered dataset Nov 2013 however, the Hydstra data for NSW Office of Water (NoW) was extracted on 10 April 2013  The Hydstra groundwater database was provided by NoW and  from the HYDMEAS database file (dbf). The dbf file can be imported into MSAccess



The Hydstra database stores groundwater level information from \~ 11,800 bores. This includes the NSW monitoring network of bores and private bores (eg. Stock bores with a water level reading). 



Site information is included; however in the NoW NGIS should be used as the primary source for groundwater site information as the NGIS has been quality checked and should be used for all site data. \\wron\Project\BA\BA_all\Hydrogeology\_National_Groundwater_Information_System_v1.1_Sept2013



Many water level readings have been taken at the time of drilling and many are once off readings. These data have not been validated.  



Any information obtained from the Hydstra data should be assessed for its quality prior to inclusion in a Bioregional Assessment.



No data dictionary is available for Hydstra. GW levels are variable 110. 110 is the measurement of groundwater level from the measurement point.

Details on the measurement point can be found on the NSW NGIS

HUN GW Model code v01

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme without the use of source datasets. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. 



Computer code and templates used to create the Hunter groundwater model.



Broadly speaking, there are two types of files: those in templates_and_inputs that are template files used by the code; and everything else, which is the computer code itself.



An example of a type of file in templates_and_inputs are all the uaXXXX.txt, which describe the parameters used in uncertainty analysis XXXX.



Much of the computer code is in the form of python scripts, and most of these are run using either preprocess.py or postprocess.py (using subprocess.call).  Each of the python scripts employs optparse, and so is largely self documenting.  Each of the python scripts also requires an index file as an input, which is an XML file and contains all meta-data associated with the model building process, so that the scripts can discover where the raw data is needed to build the model.  The HUN GW Model v01 contains the index file (index.xml) used to build the Hunter groundwater model.



Finally, the "code" directory contains a snapshot of the MOOSE C++ code used to run the model.

## **Dataset History** 

Computer code and templates were written by hand.

Distribution and abundance of seagrass, mangrove and saltmarsh the Hunter Subregion

## **Dataset History** 

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



Data Collection Method: Aerial photography interpretation.

Data Set Source: The data has been prepared from Land and Property Information photo runs.

Source Material Input Scale: 1:25 000

Additional Processing Steps: The aerial photographs were scanned into TIFF format files and imported into ERDAS IMAGINE as image files for orthorectification. The digital images were orthorectified using a Digital Elevation Model and Digital Topographic Database provided by Land and Property Information. Seagrass, mangrove and saltmarsh boundaries were digitised and edited in ArcGIS 

All data was mapped at a scale of 1:1500 derived from orthorectified aerial photographs with a positional accuracy of less than 10 metres. 



Vegetation boundaries were identified on orthorectified aerial photographs. Boundary location and species identification were verified in the field. Families or in some case species of vegetation were mapped in the following categories:Posidonia australis Zosteraceae (including Zostera capricorni, Zostera muelleri and Heterozostera tasmanica), Halophila spp. Ruppia megacarpa,  mangrove (Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, and saltmarsh (all species combined). Area calculations were determined in ArcGIS.

All polygons were visibly checked for accurate class allocation, all polygons are labeled. All polygons are topologically consistent



Completed 2009 for the attributes listed in the estuary of the study.

HUN groundwater flow rate time series 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.



The dataset includes a script and data for generating flow rate time-series figures for HUN GW modelling. The flow rate data points represent historical pumping rates and estimates of future pumping rates used to represent the impacts of coal mining on groundwater levels and surface water - groundwater fluxes in the Hunter subregion.

The script was written to generate time-series graphs of flow rates used in the HUN GW modelling for each mine in the Hunter subregion.

## **Dataset History** 

Historical mine water pumping rates and estimates of future flow rates were extracted from mining reports (groundwater modelling within mine Environmental Assessments) for each baseline and additional coal resource development modelled in the Hunter subregion. These flow rates are inputs to the groundwater model to represent the impacts of coal mining over time on groundwater (drawdowns and changes in surface water - groundwater fluxes).



A script was written to generate time-series graphs for each mine represented in the groundwater model. The full set of mining reports from which data were extracted and the time-series graphs generated from these data are included in Herron et al. (2016).

Gloucester Coal Basin

## **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.



Gloucester Coal Basin extracted from Australian Coal Basins data set - The data set is a shapefile.



The Coal Basin Outlines dataset is a combination of data from various sources displaying the best available (7 March 2013) coal basin extents for all of Australia. These extents were taken predominantly from the Australian Geological Provinces Database (extract from 4 November 2012 - see metadata statement below) with additional data coming from the Australian Sedimentary Basins Database (27 August 2012 update), State (South Australia) basin databases and hydrogeological basin databases.



The Australian Geological Provinces Database contains descriptions and spatial extents of the fundamental geological elements of the Australian continent and immediate surrounds. Captured province types include sedimentary basins, tectonic provinces such as cratons and orogens, igneous provinces, and metallogenic provinces. Spatial data has been captured largely at approximately 1:1M scale for best use at between 1:2M to 1:5M scale.

Where possible, provinces have been attributed with their age, contained lithostratigraphic units, relationships to other provinces, and geological history. The geological definition of some provinces, in particular certain sedimentary basins and orogens, is contentious. While every effort has been made to achieve a consensus interpretation of each province, scientific debate may still occur about the nature and extent of some provinces.



The total 2D spatial extent of most provinces in the database has been captured (ie, the full extent of a province under any overlying cover). The extent of outcrop of some provinces has also been captured. Where possible, the full extent outlines of provinces have been attributed with information about the source, accuracy, and observation method of those lines.

## **Dataset History** 

The following list shows which database each basin was derived from:

## **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 contains individual nested catchment shapefiles, a merged version of all catchments a geodatabase of those catchment shapefiles,a point shapefile containing the pour points used to delineate the catchments and an excel spreadsheet with areas of catchments and the percentage of each catchment covered by mine footprints for three scenarios (Baseline, CRDP and ACRD).  These include nested catchments for the 65 surface water modelling simulation nodes in the Hunter subregion. These data are inputs to the surface water model for the Hunter.

## **Dataset History** 

The total upstream catchment for each simulation node was generated in ArcGIS -> Spatial Analyst -> Hydrology -> Watershed tool to create a shapefile of nested catchment polygons. The source inputs were used as pour point and flow direction parameters respectively. Pour points were snapped to the nearest point on a flowline.
