Rapid Creek Catchment Vegetation Survey

This is a high resolution survey (1:5,000 scale dataset) describing mapped vegetation communities for the Rapid Creek catchment area (within the City of Darwin, Northern Territory). (Vegetation Unit - A reasonably homogeneous part of the land surface, distinct from surrounding terrain with constant properties in landform and vegetation)  The original survey was conducted in 1994. This dataset represents the vegetation on the ground at the time of the survey and reflects the data and methods used to create the mapped polygons. The dataset has been revised in 2015 to include community descriptions but has not been updated to reflect the vegetation on the ground. The Darwin Remnant Vegetation Survey is considered a more up-to-date representation of vegetation for this area.

Subcatchments over the Northern Territory, topographic scale data 250k

This polygon spatial dataset displays sub-catchments over the Northern Territory including a 70 km buffer beyond the border. The data was sourced from the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (AHGF Geofabric) V2.1.1 via the Commonwealth of Australia (Bureau of Meteorology).  The original data, Contracted Catchments, has been renamed to Sub-catchments to provide a better understanding of the data name. This data is displayed in the Department's on-line web mapping system NR Maps. http://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/nrmaps.html  Caution for use: The sub-catchment (contracted catchment) boundaries describe no flow areas within the Victoria-Wiso Basin. The modelling has impacted the boundary extent of Regional Catchments created for Geofabric. Catchment boundaries previously displayed by the Australian Surface Water Management Areas 2000 (ASWMA) are no longer displayed. These particular areas should be used with caution.  Notes about original data: The AGHFContractedCatchments are based upon the fully disaggregated stream segment level catchments derived from GEODATA 9 second DEM foundation data. These data define a catchment for every stream segment in the Surface Network product.  The AHGFContractedCatchments is the set of predefined aggregated catchments. This is the component of the product whose outflow node is a Contracted Node that is guaranteed to persist.

Strahler stream orders over the Northern Territory, topographic scale data 250k

This polyline spatial dataset displays Stream Order over the Northern Territory using the Strahler hierarchical classification from the source (Stream Order 1) then downstream to the largest stream (Stream Order 7). A waterway with no tributaries is a first-order stream. Two first-order streams join to form a second-order stream and two second-order streams join to form a third-order stream and so on.  The Stream Network line segments describe where water would flow according to a hydrological enforced 9 second digital elevation model at scale 1:250,000. The data was sourced from the Australian surface water hydrography geofabric data supplied by Commonwealth of Australia (Bureau of Meteorology). The Stream Order information were sourced from Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia) using a lookup table that was joined to the stream network.

NT Remote Communities Storm Tide Study and Inundation Mapping

The objective of the study is to quantify the likelihood of coastal and associated waterway areas within major remote towns and indigenous communities on the West Coast, Arnhem Land and Tiwi Islands areas being inundated by storm tide caused either by severe tropical cyclones or broad scale atmospheric influences. The study outcomes provided inundation data showing storm tide elevation depth that corresponds to a specific return period risk or ARI (Average Recurrence Interval). The provided storm tide probability levels are 100, 1,000, 2,000 and 10,000 year ARI. The inundation extent shows the total storm surge (technical terminology is storm tide) hazard risk due to tropical cyclones in terms of the ocean water level comprising the combined effects of astronomical tide plus storm surge plus wave setup for three statistical Average Recurrence Intervals (ARI) at a nearby open coast location. The Primary Storm Surge (PSS) Zone refers to the extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 100 year ARI. The Secondary Storm Surge (SSS) Zone refers to the further extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 1,000 year ARI. The Extreme Storm Surge Zone refers to the further extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 10,000 year ARI. The extent of PSS is used for land use planning. The extent of SSS is additional information for risk analysis. The extent does not include the possible effects of much localised wave run up..

The study outcomes provided inundation maps showing storm tide elevation depth that corresponds to a specific return perios risk or ARI.  The provided storm tide probability levels are 100,1000 and10,000 year ARI. The inundation extent shows the total storm surge (technical terminology is storm tide) hazard risk due to tropical cyclones in terms of the ocean water level comprising the combined effects of astronomical tide plus storm surge plus wave setup for three statistical Average Recurrence Intervals (ARI) at a nearby open coast location as noted in the map. The Primary Storm Surge (PSS) Zone refers to the extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 100 year ARI. The Secondary Storm Surge (SSS) Zone refers to the further extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 1000 year ARI.  The Extreme Storm Surge Zone refers to the further extent of inundation for a storm tide event of 10000 year ARI. The extent of PSS is used for land use planning. The extent of SSS is an additional information for risk analysis. The extent do not include the possible effects of very localised wave runup. The storm surge extend boundaries polygon collected via geographic Information system (ArcGIS).  The ESRI Geodatabase, MapInfo Table and Google Earth KML derived using FME Workbench. The published map is derived from the ESRI Shape using Microstation Bentley MicroStation Design (V8) software.  The core attributes information associated with the storm surge extents was derived from the original map's legend and annotations.
