Capertee and Coxs River Valleys Hydrogeological Landscapes (HGL) |
Abstract |
This dataset supersedes 'Capertee-Lithgow Valleys Hydrogeological Landscapes: June 2010 (First Edition)'. It consolidates the original four volumes into one report. Hydrogeological landscape (HGL) boundaries and descriptions have been reviewed and modified as necessary. A reformatted version of the main report was added to the data package in January 2020. The focus of this dataset is the Capertee and Coxs River Valleys in NSW. It contains digital spatial data developed to assist in land management decision making. The dataset contains hazard ratings for land salinity, stream salt load and stream EC as well as overall salinity hazard for each HGL unit. The associated report and descriptions provide information on salinity management for each HGL unit. The HGL concept provides a structure for understanding how differences in salinity are expressed across the landscape. A HGL spatially differentiates areas with similar salt stores and pathways for salt mobilisation. The process of delineating a HGL relies on the integration of a number of causative factors: geology, soils, slope, regolith thickness, and climate; an understanding of the different modes of salinity development; and the impacts of salinity within landscapes (land salinity, salt load and salt concentration in streams due to salt contributions from base flow and runoff ). Information sources such as soil landscape maps, site characterisation, salinity occurrence maps, hydrogeological data, surface water and groundwater data are incorporated into standardised unit descriptions. Spatial resolution for this product is 1:100 000. Hydrogeological Landscapes (HGL) and associated salinity impacts and hazards are available as a custom layer in eSPADE, which includes links to individual HGL unit descriptions. |

Lineage |
The hydrogeological landscape (HGL) mapping used the following base data for delineation of map units: Published 1:250 000 geological mapping data (polygon); Published 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 soil landscape data (polygon); Soil profile data from the DECCW SALIS database (point); Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Hawkesbury-Nepean CMA and derivative products taken from the 25 metre DEM; Vegetation of the Western Blue Mountains including the Capertee, Coxs and Jenolan-Gurnang Areas - VIS_ID 2231 (polygon); Southeast NSW Native Vegetation Classification and Mapping - SCIVI VIS_ID 2230 (polygon); and ; Field observations and assessment. The published and reconnaissance level mapping were combined and rationalised to create a complete hydrogeological landscape classification (map unit) coverage for the entire Capertee and Coxs River valley areas. |

Explanation |
Spatial data capture is complete for presentation and usage at 1:100 000 only. |
DQ Completeness Omission |

DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2019-08-01 |
Explanation |
All polygons in the coverage are topologically correct and all polygons have been attributed. Data has been visually checked at applicable scales. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2019-08-01 |
Explanation |
The accuracy of the coverage varies across the mapping area as map polygon boundaries were derived from different sources. HGL boundaries derived from published and draft 1:100 000 scale mapping are generally accurate to 100 m. HGL boundaries derived from published 1:250 000 scale mapping are approximate and generally accurate to 250 m. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2019-08-01 |
Explanation |
All polygons are labelled with a hydrogeological landscape unit tag, and attributed with information relevant to salinity management. Attributes were checked as part of routine GIS capture quality assurance procedures, including a visual check of polygon tags against field data. During the fieldwork phase, regular meetings were held to discuss and review methods, processes and consistency in landscape interpretation and documentation. |
