Testing the Framework for the Assessment of River and Wetland Health in NSW Wetlands. |
Abstract |
The aim of the project was to trial application of the Framework for the Assessment of River and Wetland Health in NSW wetlands. This dataset includes mapping of wetlands in the Murrumbidgee, Murray and Hunter Surface Water Management Areas (SWMAs) completed for the trial. A wetland coverage was compiled using existing wetland and vegetation layers and by mapping additional wetlands from Landsat satellite imagery using a 'water mask’ technique. A Wetland typology identifying seven wetland types was developed using climatic variables, soil types, elevation,wetland area, ratio of area to wetland perimeter, and the furthest distance between the wetland and any point in its catchment by applying a multivariate classification technique. Users should refer to the included report to understand the purpose of the dataset, limitations, and suitability for use in further applications: Turak, E., Melrose, R, Islam, T, Imgraben, S and Blakey, R (2011) Testing the Framework for the Assessment of River and Wetland Health in New South Wales wetlands.

Lineage |
The FARWH team produced a wetland compilation map for the Murrumbidgee, Murray and Hunter surface water management areas (SWMAs). Ancillary wetland mapping data was integrated with wetland-specific vegetation mapping from the Western Plains (Benson et al. 2006) classification. Additional wetlands were detected from a landsat time-series from 1988 - 2008 using using the ‘water mask’ method developed by Danaher and Collett (2006). All wetland datasets were combined to form a single spatial layer. Farm dams larger than 0.5 ha were retained.The final water mask layer was checked for accuracy and edited using high-resolution imagery (SPOT 5 2008 and/or ADS40 2008) and DEMs (LiDAR 2009, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) (2004). Wetland boundaries were not confirmed by ground field survey. |
