Description
The Top End Waterways Project assessed and described the physical and ecological condition of the major rivers and their tributaries within the Katherine Region and included the Daly River, Roper River and Victoria River catchments. The project was part funded by the National Landcare Program and managed by the Dept Lands, Planning and Environment (DLPE) from 1995 to 2005.
The Roper River catchment was divided into 11 major sub-catchments and was further divided into 20 sub-sections. A total of 93 sites were surveyed to provide base-line descriptions and condition reports for channel type diversity, bank stability, bed stability, cover and structural diversity of riparian vegetation, width of riparian vegetation, cover of exotic vegetation and many other aspects of each site and sub-section within the Roper River Catchment.

Data Quality
Lineage:The Roper River catchment and subcatchment boundaries were delineated using 1:250,000 topographic map sheets initially and
finalised using 1:100,000 sheets, along with landsat imagery taking into account contour lines and spot heights before being digitised.
Positional Accuracy:Surveyed site locations originally captured using hand-held GPS receiver in UTM coordinate system, datum AGD1966 with an accuracy of +/- 15 metres.
Attribute Accuracy:All polygons are considered to have completed attributes according to the project specifications.
All point data are considered to have completed attributes according to the project specifications.
Attribute descriptions for all surveyed sites are noted in the report. A summary of the spatial data is also available from this department.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon data topology rules applied are must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
Completeness:Complete
