Description
Abstract / Description: This dataset contains the extent, name and unique ID number of the Drainage Divisions in the State of Queensland, as defined by the Australian Water Resources Management Committee (WRMC).
Purpose: To provide an authorative single point of truth for the extent of Drainage Divisions in the State Queensland. It is suitable for use in land administration, emergency and water management, monitoring of climate change, hydrological modelling, topographic and vegetation mapping and in the production of navigational and web based mapping applications.
Additional Information: The dataset was captured at 1:100 000.
The seaward edge of this data aligns with the Coastline and State Border - Queensland dataset.
Feature Types:
DRAINAGE DIVISION - A region of land where water from rain drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, dam, wetland, sea or ocean. The extent of land covered by a drainage division was originally determined by the Australian Water Resources Management Committee (WRMC) and generally follows the major watersheds.
Attributes:
DIV_NAME - The name of the Drainage Division
DIV_NUMBER - A unique number allocated to the Drainage Division
Australia is divided into a number of Drainage Divisions. Queensland is covered by five Drainage Divisions - Bulloo, Gulf, Lake Eyre, Murray Darling and North East Coast and are each allocated a unique ID number
Flow is determined using low rainfall. It areas of flat terrain, high rainfall can cause water to flow across watersheds.
This dataset is stored in an ESRI Geodatabase. Some columns names may be shortened if downloaded in the ESRI shape format.

Data Quality
Data quality scope:
Level: dataset
Completeness (omission):
Capture is complete
Consistency (conceptual):
Data should be free from overshoots, undershoots, duplicate lines. Drainage lines should not cross division boundaries.
Positional accuracy (external, absolute):
Accuracy of the data is dependent on the accuracy of the elevation data of the associated 1:100000 topographic map. This data is suitable for scales 1:100000 and greater.
Attribute accuracy (non quantitative):
Attribute naming was validated against the names supplied by the Australian Water Resources Management Committee (WRMC) and has an accuracy of 100%.
History:
Lineage statement:The location of Australia’s Drainage Divisions were originally defined by the Australian Water Resources Management Committee (WRMC).
The divisions generally follow the major watersheds e.g. The Great Dividing Range.
To accurately plot the location of the boundaries, the definition of the divisions were compared with 1:100000 topographic mapping (published and unpublished) and the location of the watershed based on the contours was plotted onto hard copy maps. These plotted lines were later digitised to create a spatial dataset.
With the 1:250000 drainage network as a background, checks were made to ensure that no drainage lines crossed a division boundary.
In 2020, the seaward edge of the data was moved to align with the Coastline and State Border - Queensland dataset.
