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 GDA2020 Service here:

NSW Water Theme GDA2020 Service

NSW Water Theme

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.

Content TitleNSW Water Theme
Content TypeHosted Feature Layer
Description

The\n Water theme is based on hydrology which is the study of the movement, \ndistribution and quality of water. This includes the hydrologic cycles, \nwater resources and environmental watershed sustainability.

Hydrology\n includes surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management and\n water quality where water plays the central role.

Water (surface water and groundwater) is concerned with information as aligned with the definitions under the Water Act 2007.

This theme includes Hydrology elements which are described as:

Surface\n Water\u00a0- water in a watercourse, lake or wetland or any water flowing \nover or lying on land, either after having precipitated naturally after \nrain or having risen to the surface naturally from underground.

Groundwater\u00a0-\u00a0water\n occurring at a place below ground that has been pumped, diverted or \nreleased to that place for the purpose of being stored there. Does not \ninclude water held in underground tanks, pipes or other works.

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.
