Cooper Subregion Water Dependent Areas v01

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. The parent datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.\n\n\n\nThis dataset uses wetland, river, floodplain, swamp and springs spatial information to define water dependent areas within the Cooper subregion.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nWetlands, rivers, floodplains, swamps and springs, from several different source datasets, were combined to define water dependent areas in the Cooper subregion.\n\n\n\nAll features were selected from an arbitrary rectangle around outside the Cooper subregion with the extent:\n\nN -23.084636551\n\nW 137.462314009\n\nE 145.092221072\n\nS -31.06429\n\n\n\nFrom GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 (GUID: a0650f18-518a-4b99-a553-44f82f28bb5f) \\..\\Hydrography.mdb\n\n Rivers were selected from the 'WatercourseLines' Feature Class where:\n\n Name Like ='RIVER'; and \n\n HIERACHY = 'MAJOR'\n\n\n\n Floodplains were selected from the 'Flats' Feature Class where:\n\n Type = '1' LandSubjectToInundation\n\n\n\n Swamps were selected from the 'Flats' Feature Class where:\n\n Type = '4' Swamps\n\n\n\n Rivers, Floodplains and Swamps were merged and buffered to 0.5m \n\n\n\nFrom the Springs of Queensland - Distribution and Assessment (Version 4.0) dataset (GUID: 82749253-f555-47d9-ba76-7140c55b2a65) - all feature were included and buffered to 50m\n\n\n\nFrom the Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia (DIWA) Spatial Database (Public) dataset (GUID: 6636846e-e330-4110-afbb-7b89491fe567) all features were included\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (2015) Cooper Subregion Water Dependent Areas v01.
