Title

Soil and land constraint assessment maps: Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment

Abstract

This dataset contains maps and data on soil and land constraints that may impact on a range of land uses throughout the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment. It reveals the physical capability of the land for different land uses, together with a broad indication of potential economic costs associated with overcoming the constraints. It should assist in many planning and natural resource management processes throughout the catchment. Land uses dealt with include: development – standard residential, medium density, high density and rural residential agriculture – cropping and grazing wastewater disposal – surface irrigation, trench absorption and pump-out methods. Background information and methodology is provided in the accompanying Technical Report DECCW (2010) Soil and land constraint assessment for urban and regional planning.

Lineage

Concepts and methodology of the product are presented in DECCW (2010) and Gray et al (2011). The product builds on the soil landscape data contained in Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment (DECCW 2009). This contains descriptions of all soil-landscape units in the Catchment, including details on their qualities and constraints, derived from mapping programs predominantly carried out at 1:25 000 scale but published at 1:100 000 scale.
Spatial modelling of the soil-landscape units down to facet level was achieved using GIS techniques with a 25 m digital elevation model (DEM) as described in Yang et al (2008). Erosion hazard mapping using methodology described in Yang et al. (2006) was also applied.
