Description

Abstract:

Compilation of polygon spatial datasets describing Water Resource Surveys over the Northern Territory. Each water resource survey is represented by a single polygon covering the extent of the survey. This compilation dataset is regularly updated when new land resource surveys are completed or existing surveys amended.

Each record contains descriptive details about the survey including; name, scale, date, weblinks to metadata and report (if available). Refer to the Data Dictionary for further descriptions.

DOWNLOAD SPATIAL DATA PACKAGE VIA NRMAPS. (enter nrmaps.nt.gov.au in a browser)
A web-link under the heading DOWNLOAD provides users with a package of information about the survey. This includes spatial data in an ESRI format (GDB and also shapefile), reports, maps and other related information. CAUTION: The spatial data package may be very large.

Data Quality

Lineage:The extent, or boundary, of each water resource survey is created by dissolving the survey polygons using the survey Identification field. Additionally, surveys with more than one boundary (e.g. survey covering the whole of the Northern Territory mainland and islands) have been aggregated so that each survey will only have a single record. All the water survey boundaries have been merged into a single dataset over the NT. The survey polygons may overlap over each other due to the survey location.

Positional Accuracy:For most of the survey the positional accuracy of the polygon is based on cadastre information of the Northern Territory.

Attribute Accuracy:The attributes of the survey boundary polygon are described in the Data Dictionary below.

Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in polygon line-work. Topological consistency checks were performed to detect flaws in the spatial data structure and to ensure that all classified polygons are closed, nodes are formed at intersections of lines and that each polygon has only one label. Polygons overlap in this compilation dataset.

Completeness:This dataset is on-going and is regularly updated.

Attribute Attribute Description Possible Code Code Description

CODE SURVEY CODE:
Is the corporate code reference used for spatial data storage. It is the abbreviated name of the survey followed by the survey scale. For example, Water Resources of the Darwin Region is DWN_100.

STATUS_GIS DATA STATUS:
Four values used to describe the status of the groundwater, surface water and water development attribute descriptions available for the spatial datasets.
Draft Spatial Water Resources map unit polygons are currently under construction in spatial data formats

Not Spatial Water Resources map unit polygons do not exist in a spatial data format.

Spatial (Core Attributes) Water Resources map unit polygons are in a spatial data format and all standard core attributes have been added.

Spatial (Label) Water Resources map unit polygons are in a spatial data format and attributed with the map unit value only.

STATUS_PRJ PROJECT STATUS:
Describes the completion status of the project. Complete (Not Spatial) Survey complete; Report complete and scanned; Map product hard copy; no spatial data formats available; only non-spatial products are available for public use.

Complete (Spatial) Associated spatial data formats completed and available for public use including accompanying technical report, metadata, and refined map product is also usually completed.
