Description

Abstract / Description:
This is a series of datasets covering the State of Queensland displaying hydrographic features. Features are attributed with source information, perennially, hierarchy and names where available. Watercourses are connected and flow directed. Connectors flow through waterbodies to create a linear network for hydrological modelling. Datasets include: - Watercourses; Canals; Lakes - natural waterbodies; Reservoirs - man-made waterbodies; Flats including saline coastal flats, swamps; Pondage areas including aquaculture, settling ponds; Waterfalls
Purpose:
To provide digital data of hydrographic features for use in Land Administration, Emergency Management, Monitoring of Climate Change, Hydrological Modelling, and Topographic Mapping and in the production of Navigational and Web Based Mapping applications.
Additional Information:
This data series has been compiled as part of a collaborative program between the Queensland Government and Geoscience Australia to upgrade the states hydrographic data for inclusion in the national geospatial fabric.

Features have been progressively updated by drainage basin using imagery. Those basins along the east coast from the New South Wales border to Cooktown are captured at 25000 mapping specifications. Those basins flowing into the Gulf of Carpentaria or within Cape York Peninsula are captured at 50000 mapping specifications, while those basins in the Murray Darling, the Fitzroy, the Burdekin and the balance of the state are at 100000 mapping specifications.

A number of Drainage Basins have been stream ordered using the Strahla stream ordering process.
