Vicmap Hydro - Areas Subject to Inundation

## **Abstract** \n\nThe data used to create Vicmap Hydro - Areas Subject to Inundation may not be the latest version available from the source Custodian. Vicmap is published and maintained weekly by Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning. For the latest version of Vicmap users should visit www.delwp.vic.gov.au/vicmap\n\n\n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.\n\n\n\nThis dataset series contains line, point & polygon features delineating hydrology. It is a combination of a number of data sets that are a part of Vicmap Hydro. Datasets in the series are listed below. See their metadata entries for more detailed metadata. Features include (but are not limited to); rivers, lakes, dams, reservoirs, marinas, and desalination plants. \n\n\n\nWatercourse Network 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATERCOURSE);\n\nWater Point 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATER_POINT);\n\nWater Area (polygon) 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATER_AREA_POLYGON)\n\nWater Structure Point 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATER_STRUCT_POINT);\n\nWater Structure Line 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATER_STRUCT_LINE);\n\nWater Structure Area (polygon) 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_WATER_STRUCT_AREA_POLYGON);\n\nNavigation Line 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_NAVIGATION_LINE);\n\nNavigation Point 1:25,000 - Vicmap Hydro (HY_NAVIGATION_POINT);\n\n\n\nNOTE: If this layer/product is obtained via Data.Vic it will contain only information within the state of Victoria.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nVicmap Hydro provides an accurate representation of natural and man made Hydrographic features across Victoria, at a capture scale of 1:25,000. It is used in a variety of applications, particularly in emergency services, natural resource management, planning and development, and digital map publication.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nLineage: Primary\n\n\n\nData Source: The line work and points were derived from the Vicmap Digital Topographic (VDT) map base coordinated by LIG. VDT evolved from Victoria's printed 1:25,000 Topographic Map Series program together with the need to supply a control framework for the creation of the rural Digital Cadastral Mapbase. The capture scale is 1:25,000 Statewide and the coverage, except for minor border issues is also statewide.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nVictorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries (2014) Vicmap Hydro - Areas Subject to Inundation.
