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.

DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2011-06-01 |
Explanation |
The polygons of the original soil landscape products had been checked with GIS methods |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2011-06-01 |
Explanation |
Observations and soil profiles used for original soil mapping were located using handheld GPS (accurate to 50m) or using 1:25,000 topographic maps. Soil boundaries on this 1:100,000 scale map is generally accurate to within 100m on the ground but variations will occur especially where soil boundaries are gradual. Extensive field checking of soil landscape boundaries had been undertaken prior to finalising the original mapping. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2011-06-01 |
Explanation |
The land and soil constraints in the original soil-landscape map products were predominately assessed using field observations, remote sensing interpretation (satellite, radiometric and aerial photos) and laboratory analysis of dominant soil materials. Further checking of representative facet boundaries and final constraint results was undertaken prior to finalisation of the product |
