Title

Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Soil Condition (Salinity) Report Card Scores - Summary (4 March 2009)

Abstract

This dataset contains a summary of the derived salinity condition scores generated for the Soil Condition theme of the NSW Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting (MER) program. It also gives details of trends, data sources and confidence.

The scores were generated from 'known saline site' mapping and API activities carried out by DLWC and DIPNR regions between 2000 and 2005. Scores are based on location, size and intensity of salinised areas and their impacts on in-stream salt load and electrical conductivity. The overall salinity condition score ranges from 5 (minimal salinity impact on land and water) through to 1 (severe salinity impact on land and water).

Expert opinion from staff working in the salinity field was used to assess salinity condition trends for each SMU being considered.

Purpose

This data was generated for input into the reporting process for the Soil Condition theme of the NSW Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting (MER) program. The dataset does not represent all the information available on salinity extent or impact. The scale being used is very broad and at best gives a catchment scale picture at a point in time. SMUs do not cover entire CMA areas. Salinity data has only been considered for the SMU as defined by the Soil Condition theme. There are salt affected areas outside the current SMUs. Users of this dataset should be aware that the salinity outbreak datasets used for this evaluation are of differing ages and of varying quality.

Lineage

This dataset uses existing dryland salinity outbreak mapping data for a series of coastal and inland catchments. It was prepared by the former NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation and its successors prior to incorporation into the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water . This data was based on aerial photograph analysis and past salinity mapping activities. It was supplemented by field checking and local knowledge.
