New South Wales NSW - Regional - CMA - Water Asset Information Tool - WAIT - databases

## **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 known details at the time of acquisition. 



Under input to the BA program, spatial assets databases are developed for each defined bioregional assessment project. The spatial elements that underpin the identification of water dependent assets are identified in the first instance by regional NRM organisations (via the WAIT tool) and supplemented with additional elements from national and state/territory government datasets.



The Water Asset table describes the key attributes of the water dependent environmental assets (or elements) as provided by regional NRM organisations to the BA program. 



The main land use/s at the site of features are described. Values are based on Australian Land Use Management Classification (ALUM), as provided by bioregional stakeholders as part of the process for populating an initial assets database.



Key environmental values are described as detailed in the National Water Quality Management Strategy (NWQMS). The NWQMS process involves development and implementation of management plans for each catchment, aquifer, estuary, coastal water or other water body, by community and government. Local government, community organisations and other agencies carry out these plans using the NWQMS to protect agreed environmental values (or 'EVs').



A description of the WaterBody Type is provided, based on Australian National Guidelines for Ramsar Wetlands, but may include other values, particularly for those describing groundwater elements or assets. 



Key components of a vulnerability assessment of the elements or assets provided by regional partners are also provided.

## **Purpose** 

To provide regional asset information as an initial input into the assets and receptors compilation process.

## **Dataset History** 

Lineage and processing history of the data received from BA regional partners will vary. Detailed documentation is provided within this dataset.

HUN SW Modelling Reaches and HRV lookup 20170221 v02

## **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.



Contains a line shapefile and an excel spreadsheet lookup table. The line shapefile derived from the Geofabric Surface Water Network streams (source data) and spatially represents the reaches described in the accompanying lookup table so that surface water modelling based Hydrological Response Variables (HRVs) can be applied spatially along stream lengths. The interpolation is also applied to the Geofabric Cartographic Streams for mapping purposes.

## **Dataset History** 

Line segments from the Geofabric Network Streams and Cartogrpahic Streams source dataset were grouped into reach sections based on descriptions in the accompanying lookup table (supplied by Surface Water Modelling team) using the surface water node locations and described river junctions and other defined locations as spatial reference. Reaches were given a unique ID and dissolved into a multpart lines. There is also a Network version which further breaks the reaches into their Riverine Landscape classes.

Birds Australia - Important Bird Areas (IBA) 2009

## **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.



Important Bird Areas (IBAs) are sites of global bird conservation importance. Each IBA meets one of four global criteria used by BirdLife International. IBAs are priority areas for bird conservation - Birds Australia aim to monitor birds at the IBAs, advocate their importance to government, and work with land-holders and other local people to conserve them.



IBAs are a site-scale conservation prioritisation only and do not imply unimportance of excluded areas. Areas not designated as Important Bird Areas may also be important for bird conservation, especially for species such as arid country and savanna species whose conservation is best addressed at landscape-scales rather than site-scales.

## **Dataset History** 

The IBA program is a non-government program that started in Europe in the 1980s, the USA in 1995 and has now been established across the world. In Australia, Birds Australia is coordinating the IBA program through regional networks of bird groups and conservation organisations. In partnership with Rio Tinto, Birds Australia has undertaken to identify and designate all IBAs in Australia by 2008. By late 2006, 60 IBAs had been designated and another 350 identified for assessment and nomination.



IBAs are a site-scale conservation prioritisation only and do not imply unimportance of excluded areas. Areas not designated as Important Bird Areas may also be important for bird conservation, especially for species such as arid country and savanna species whose conservation is best addressed at landscape-scales rather than site-scales.



Data supporting each IBA will be available from: http://www.birdata.com.au/iba.vm



For IBA background material, see http://www.birdsaustralia.com.au/ibas/



The field \[ElementID\] was added by ERIN to the dataset to create a unique identifier for purposes of the BA Program.

Monitoring Power Generation and Water Supply Bores Hunter NOW 20150514

## **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

The following extract is a data extract from NSW office of Water which includes NOWs Monitoring Bores, Power generation bores and bores for Town Water Supply in the Hunter Region.  These were provided as part of the feedback from the Hunter Workshop which suggested including in Bioregional Assessment data the distinction between High Security bores and others. The following paragraph was provided in email by the data providers:



"The definition of high security water and what they are, are in the water sharing plans for each water source. High security water is defined by source (e.g. regulated rivers; or purpose, by default). All I know is that town water supply is high security water and water for power generation is above high security water. For example if there is a drought, water for industrial use such as mines will be cut off first followed by irrigators to meet the water supply for power generation. Water for power generation can be both sourced from surface water and groundwater."

## **Purpose** 

Makes a distinction between High Security Bores, NOW Monitoring bores and bores for power generation in the Hunter Region.  These attributes have been included in the GW Economic Assets Hunter Database (GUID)

## **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.
