Eastern Murray Hydrogeological Landscapes 2015 |
Abstract |
*Update: Data package containing HGL shapefile added to resources on 16 March 2022. The Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) concept provides a structure for the understanding of how salinity manifests itself in the landscape and how differences in salinity are expressed across the landscape. A HGL spatially defines areas of similar salt stores and pathways for salt mobilisation. The process of HGL determination relies on the integration of a number of factors: geology, soils, slope, regolith depth, and climate; an understanding of the differences in salinity development; and the impacts (land salinity/salt load/water electrical conductivity) in landscapes. Information sources such as soils maps, site characterisation, salinity site mapping, hydrogeological conditions and surface and groundwater data are combined to develop standard templates for each HGL. The focus of this dataset is the Eastern Murray study area upstream of Corowa. It comprises introductory information on HGLs; HGL templates; and maps and digital spatial data developed for the project, including derivative maps to assist in land management decision making in the Eastern Murray study area. This includes information on salinity management from the perspectives of land use design, scales and types of management, landscape function, management strategies, actions and outcomes, as well as land use to be avoided. This second edition of the dataset incorporates minor edits made to ensure dataset is compatible with eSPADE, and includes the published version of the Eastern Murray HGL report. Spatial resolution for this product is 1:250 000. |

Lineage |
The hydrogeological landscape (HGL) mapping used the following base data for delineation of map units: published 1:1 million and 1:250 000 geological mapping data (polygon); published 1:250 000 soil landscape data (polygon); soil profile data from the OEH SALIS database (point); and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for Murray CMA and derivative products taken from the 25 metre DEM. The published and reconnaissance level mapping were combined and rationalised to create complete hydrogeological landscape classification (map unit) coverage for the entire Eastern Murray study area. |

DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |

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 |
2015-05-01 |
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 |
2015-05-01 |
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. |
