Description
A polyline spatial dataset delineating mapped streams in the biodiversity assessment study area for the Mapping the Future project of the central Roper River catchment.
Complex or large systems of palustrine wetlands, such as those associated with the Roper River and tributaries, are considered areas of sensitive and or significant biodiversity. Perennial reaches of the Roper River and tributaries that provide suitable habitat for threatened species including the Largetooth Sawfish (Pristis pristis) and Gulf Snapping Turtle (Elseya lavarackorum) are considered to have high biodiversity value and disturbance of these areas should be avoided.
Produced as part of the biodiversity assessment for the Mapping the Future project of the central Roper River catchment area.
The biodiversity assessment study area covers approximately 1,725,000 ha and extends from south-west of the township of Mataranka to the edge of the Limmen National Park and Arnhem Land Aboriginal Land Trust in the east.
Further details on the biodiversity assessment are provided in the report listed in Supplementary Information.

Data Quality
Lineage:These data are mapped streams sourced from the AHGFMappedStream feature class dataset within the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (Geofabric) v3.2 (Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology 2015).
ESRI ArcGIS Pro v3.3 was used to clip the data to the study area, and only Major and Minor drainage lines were retained using the following queries:
MAJOR: Hierarchy = 'Major'
MINOR: Name IS NOT NULL and Name <> ' ' AND Hierarchy = 'Minor'
Geofabric attributes are described in the Product Guide: www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/documentation.shtml
All attributes, other than Name and Hierarchy, were removed from the dataset.
Positional Accuracy:The mapped streams were originally captured via 1:250,000 topographic data.
Attribute Accuracy:Attribute values are assigned to each line and described in the Data Dictionary below.
Geofabric attributes are further described in the Product Guide: www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/documentation.shtml
Logical Consistency:Consistency errors in the dataset have arisen due to the Mapped Stream data being clipped, and a selection made, from the original AHGFMappedStream Geofabric dataset. This work has been done to identify locations of high biodiversity value species.
Completeness:Completed
