Title	Salinity Potential of Western Sydney
Alternative title(s)	Western Sydney Salinity Potential 2002
Abstract	This map depicts the distribution and potential severity of dryland salinity based on biophysical factors that are known to cause dryland salinity. The mapping shows four classifications of salinity potential:; 1.Areas of Known Salinity ; 2.Areas of High Salinity Potential ; 3.Areas of Moderate Salinity Potential ; 4.Areas of Very Low Salinity Potential ; The map and accompanying guidelines are an extension of (and incorporate) the previous work, Draft Salinity Hazard Map for Western Sydney. They cover the Wianamatta Shales geological group on the Cumberland Plain, which essentially covers the area of Western Sydney, north to Windsor and south to Campbelltown.

Quality and validity

Field	Value
Lineage	Lineage: Salinity potential was derived from existing saline outbreaks using Aerial Photograph Interpretation with 1965 and 1967 pre-development photography. This layer was digitised into GIS and used as a control for Compound Topographic Index (CTI) modelling. The CTI was based on a mosaic of 25m and 5m DEM's and calculated using ArcInfo Grid software. Extensive field checking and expert panel verified results. The map is accurate to 1:100 000 as at August 2000. Positional accuracy: Map accurate to 1:100 000 scale Attribute accuracy: Map accurate to 1:100 000 scale Logical consistency: All data are topographically consistent. Quality control was carried out using industry standard GIS topology routines. Completeness: Modelled data was verified against known saline sites and field-checked. Classification classes are also consistent with known landscape processes in the development of dryland salinity. Further work is anticipated in hydrogeological processes in shallow aquifer groundwater and more intensive soil landscape inventory.
