This regional scale mapping of wetlands in the Lachlan River Catchment was produced to trial methods for Wetland Inventory in NSW. Wetland boundaries were determined by combining existing vegetation mapping with remote sensing analyses of inundation. Wetland attributes were determined using existing mapping and remote sensing datasets. The project produced two spatial datasets:
-
Non vegetation information about the wetlands (inundation, soils, and more) - WetlandsLachlan
-
Vegetation within the wetland areas - WetlandsVegLachlan
These maps are suitable for viewing at 1:50 000. They are not free from error. Please read the accompanying report to understand data limitations and accuracy:
