1 arc second hillshaded digital elevation model

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from Geoscience Australia, 1 second SRTM Digital Elevation Model (DEM) datasets. You can find a link to the parent dataset in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



Two shaded relief (hillshade) datasets were developed, mimicking the effects of sunlight on topography for map making purposes. This dataset provides options for Hillshade use derived from the 1 second DEM-s. 



One dataset is named '1shillshade' and was created using an Azimuth of 300 degrees and an Altitude of 30 degrees.



The other dataset, named '1shs_45d_30e' was created using a sun Azimuth of 45 degrees and Altitude of 30 degrees

## **Purpose** 

Provides identifiable visualisation of elevation and relief in maps for Bioregional Assessments. The two versions of data display different levels of relief and elevation depending on the topography of the region being viewed. It is the users responsibility to assess and assign the most appropriate version of hillshade to their map product.

## **Dataset History** 

Datasets were created from the 1 second DEM-s dataset (GUID: 9a9284b6-eb45-4a13-97d0-91bf25f1187b) in ArcCatalog version 10.0 using the Hillshade tool in the 3D Analyst toolbox.



The first dataset named '1shillshade' was created using a sun azimuth of 300 degrees and an altitude of 30 degrees as its tool parameters.



The second dataset, named '1shs_45d_30e' was created using a sun azimuth of 45 degrees and altitude of 30 degrees as its tool parameters.

State Water prepares annual water balances by valley, for each of the regulated river systems. These water balances:



a. describe where the water came from and where it went to.

b. are prepared in accordance with the requirements set out in State Water's Operating Licence.



The water balance tables contain data including storage volume, inflows, net water diverted under riparian rights, net water diverted under access licences, environmental water and other outflows. The dataset is the original HTML files for the webpages from which the data were sourced. Four years of water balance data were sourced covering the period 2010-2014.

Indigenous Protected Areas - SA - ARC

## **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.

This dataset details the declared Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA) across South Australia through the implementation of the Indigenous Protected Areas Programme. The IPA Programme is part of the National Reserve System (NRS) Programme which aims to establish a network of protected areas which include a representative sample of all types of ecosystems across the country. Through this program, Indigenous landowners are being supported to manage their lands for the protection of natural and cultural features in accordance with internationally recognised standards and guidelines for the benefit of all Australians. The IPA Programme and NRS Programme are part of the Australian Government's Natural Heritage Trust. More information can be found from the following website; http://www.deh.gov.au/indigenous/ipa

## **Purpose** 

This dataset can be used to show the locations of Indigenous Protected Areas for conservation purposes.

## **Dataset History** 

Through the IPA Programme, as new declarations are made ERIN has continued to produce spatial boundaries of all IPA's. In 2006 ERIN updated the IPA datasets to comply with the Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) as IPA's are included in CAPAD. This included modification of the spatial data to remove discrepancies as well as an attribute review for accuracy and completeness. This was undertaken through expert advice from the IPA Programme staff. Yalata, Mt Willoughby and Nantawarrina Protected Areas are based on the DCDB. The others are unknown.

Mean monthly and mean annual evapotranspiration (base climatological data sets) - ARC

## **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.

Mean monthly and mean annual areal actual, areal potential and point potential evapotranspiration grids.

The grids show evapotranspiration values across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data.

The mean data are based on the standard 30-year period 1961-1990.

## **Purpose** 

To demonstrate distribution of evapotranspiration values over Arckaringa subregion.

## **Dataset History** 

Gridded data were generated using the ANU (Australian National University) 3-D Spline (surface fitting algorithm). The grid point resolution of the data is 0.1 degrees ( approximately 10km). As part of the 3-D analysis process a 0.1 degree resolution digital elevation model (DEM) was used. Approximately 700 stations were used in the analysis, and all input station data underwent a high degree of quality control before analysis, and conform to WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) standards for data quality. Areal Actual ET is the ET that actually takes place, under the condition of existing water supply, from an area so large that the effects of any upwind boundary transitions are negligible and local variations are integrated to an areal average. Areal Potential ET is the ET that would take place, under the condition of unlimited water supply, from an area so large that the effects of any upwind boundary transitions are negligible and local variations are integrated to an areal average. Point Potential ET is the ET that would take place, under the condition of unlimited water supply, from an area so small that the local ET effects do not alter local airmass properties. It is assumed that latent and sensible heat transfers within the height of measurement are through convection only. The above definitions are based on those given by Morton (1983), but we have used the term areal potential ET for Mortons wet-environment ET and the term point potential ET for Mortons potential ET.

## **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 was created from work done in a PhD thesis. 

A shapefile representing the Tomago sand beds digitised from an existing map which is included in the data set. The Tomago Sandbeds represent a groundwater resource, managed by Hunter Water, contributing to the lower Hunterâs drinking water supply. The sandbeds are parallel to the coast between Newcastle and Port Stephens, starting at Tomago and extending north-east for 25 kilometres to Lemon Tree Passage.

## **Dataset History** 

A shapefile representing the Tomago sand beds digitised from an existing map which is included in the data set: tomago_sandbeds1.tif. The image was sourced from a PhD Thesis - citation below.  A polygon shapefile was created in ArcGIS by georeferencing the image digitising the boundary of the sand beds shown in the map.

## **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.

Extraction of data determined to be older than Carboniferous based on the Maxage field from detailed mapping of geological unit outcrops.

## **Purpose** 

To indicate where rock deemed to be âBasementâ for the purposes of hydrogeological investigations being discussed within the contextual statement outcrop. In this case, âBasementâ is inclusive of all rocks interpreted to be older than the Arckaringa Basin (ie older than Carboniferous).

## **Dataset History** 

Original data was published by PIRSA (now DMITRE) from their geological map series, aerial photography mapping, PIRSA (DMITRE) report books and investigation, manual digitising and scanning. Data in final file was defined and extracted out from values in the MAXAGE field which was determined to be older than Carboniferous.
