RETIRING

This GD94 service is scheduled for retirement.

Please begin transitioning to the GDA2020 service and update any maps, applications, or workflows that currently reference this service.

You can access the new GDA2020 Service here:

Fuzzy Extent Water Area - NSW Water Theme - GDA2020 Service

NSW Water Theme - Fuzzy Extent Water Area

Please Note

WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94
This\n dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 \u2248 GDA94] which may result in \nmisalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service \nwith a \u2018multiCRS\u2019 suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 \nand WGS 84 \u2248 GDA2020 environments.
In due course, and allowing time \nfor user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service \nname will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.

Metadata\u00a0Portal Metadata Information

Content TitleNSW Water Theme - Fuzzy Extent Water Area
Content TypeHosted Feature Layer
DescriptionA polygon feature class representing the approximate extent (bounds) of formally named water features that have relatively indistinct named extent.

Features within Fuzzy Extent Water Area include:

  • Bay Like - a named bay-like feature which includes GNB designations: Bays, Bights, Coves, Entrances, Gulfs, Harbours, Inlets, Ports and River Mouths.
  • River Like Area - a named river-like feature of indefinite name extent, which includes GNB designations: Anabranch, Arm, Bend, Canal, Channel, Cowal, Passage, Reach, River Bend, River Feature, and Strait that have not been represented by another hydrographic feature class.
  • Sea Like - a named sea-like waterbody, which includes GNB designations: Sea and Ocean.

Water security is one of Australia\u2019s major challenges.

Key users of the hydrology data are NSW State and Local Government agencies as well as Federal Government agencies. These bodies use this data to better manage State and Local Government assets.

This hydrology data provides the NSW component of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric which is a critical input to the Australian Water Resources Information System.

More widespread use of the hydrology data is also found in emergency management response and recovery efforts, hazard mitigation or disaster risk reduction, climate change, natural resource assessment, environmental planning and monitoring, insurance, mining and agriculture.

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Water Theme\u00a0of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
AccuracyThis\n dataset was captured by utilising the best available source at a \nvariety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 \naccording to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map\n Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will \nbe within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That \nis, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = \n25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program to upgrade the spatial location and \naccuracy of data is ongoing.
