River Basin Maps and Water Monitoring Gauging Station Details (Pinneena Maps)

A series of maps that show water monitoring stations (gauging stations) across New South Wales. This map series, formerly known as the Pinneena maps, was created as part of a major project in 2011. \r\n###\r\nEach map includes stations which fall in the following categories:\r\n###\r\n* __Current with significant data:__ Gauging stations that were active and have significant data or had been established as of March 2011.\r\n###\r\n* __Current without significant data:__ Gauging stations that were active but didn't have significant data as of March 2011.\r\n###\r\n* __Discontinued or moved:__\r\nGauging station that had been closed or moved to another organisation to maintain as of March 2011.\r\n###\r\nA water monitoring station (gauging station) is a location on a stream, canal, lake or reservoir from which an observer or tool takes systematic readings of the gauge height or discharge. Hydrologists use these continuous records to make predictions and decisions concerning water level, flood activity and control, navigation, and the like. Note: The maps are best displayed at A3 paper size.\r\n###__Data disclaimer__ \r\nThese water monitoring station maps were created as part of a project completed in March 2011, and have not been updated to include more recent data or information. The information contained in these maps should be used as a reference only, as the actual location or category of some gauging stations may have changed.\r\n###\r\nThe maps use the following datasets (all licensed under ‘Creative Commons Attribution’) supplied by other agencies:\r\n###\r\n* __Spatial Services (New South Wales Department of Customer Service)__\r\nHydro Line (Rivers/Creeks) spatial data is a dataset of mapped watercourses and waterbodies in NSW.
