Title

Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Updates: Murrumbidgee CMA - May 2012

Alternative title(s)

Salinity Hazard for Murrumbidgee CMA CAP Update

Abstract

The thirteen NSW Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) are required to update their Catchment Action Plans (CAPs) in a process to be completed by early 2013. The CAPs are required to be "Whole of Government" in order to provide greater coherence between policies and plans as they develop strategic direction at regional levels. CAPs must align with or take into account common elements of agency activity, and require a high level of co-ordination. ; A cross agency team was employed in December 2011 to produce a salinity tool for CAP updates, as a Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project. This project has been funded by Catchment Action NSW.; The primary output of the Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project is a broad scale salinity hazard spatial coverage and report for each CMA. The product referred to in this metadata statement is produced for the Murrumbidgee CMA for use in upgrading its Catchment Action Plan (CAP). The Murrumbidgee CAP is a cabinet approved document which outlines the investment priorities and delivery targets for natural resource management (NRM) across the Murrumbidgee CMA area. The Murrumbidgee CMA is currently reviewing and upgrading the CAP which was developed in 2004-05.

Purpose

This data package describes the hazard posed by salinity for different parts of the Murrumbidgee CMA catchments. The Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Update map is a specific product for CAP planning. It is appropriate at the catchment scale. More detailed investigations are required for sub-regional works. The data package was generated for the Murrumbidgee CMA to assist with the update of its CAP.

Lineage

The Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Update spatial product used the following base data for delineation of map units: existing Hydrogeological Landscape mapping data (polygon); published 1:1 million geological mapping data (polygon); published 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 soil landscape data (polygon); soil profile data from the OEH SALIS database (point); published NSW Salinity Audit data for mean stream salinity and stream salt load (polygon); Groundwater Flow Systems data (polygon); unpublished 2003 State Salinity Hazard project data for soil salt store, depth to watertable and groundwater salinity (polygon) and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Murrumbidgee CMA and derivative products taken from the 25 metre DEM. These datasets were combined and rationalised to create broad scale salinity hazard ratings for the entire Murrumbidgee CMA area.
