GMA and WSPA boundaries in Gippsland - geodatabase

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from boundary data supplied by the Victorian DEPI groundwater branch. 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 subset geodatabase contains a collection of Water Supply Protection Area and Groundwater Management Area boundaries in the Gippsland region. This subset has been superseded by GMA and WSPA boundaries in Gippsland - geodatabase v2 (bfb32a2e-bf93-4c6a-a361-1817e85ddba9).\n\n\n\nWhere groundwater has been intensively developed in Victoria, or has the potential to be developed, Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) are established and the Permissible Consumptive Volume (PCV) is progressively set. Monitoring of the groundwater resource in these areas is undertaken by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (now DELWP, ed) through the State Groundwater Monitoring Network. Water levels and the amount of water allocated to groundwater users in the areas are closely monitored.\n\nSurface Water - This dataset displays Victoria's surface-water Water Supply Protection Areas (WSPAs), and has been prepared for the Groundwater and Licensing Branch and the River Health Branch DSE, by LICS (Land Information Cartographic Services) and Melbourne Water. \n\n\n\nAs part of the 2002 amendments to the Water Act 1989, surface-water was included to allow WSPAs to be declared for the protection of surface-water resources in a defined area. A legally enforceable Streamflow Management Plan is then developed. The aim of the plan is to manage the surface water resources of the WSPA equitably and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource. An extensive consultative process guarantees that surface water users have a major input into the development of the Streamflow Management Plan for their area. A Ministerial appointed Consultative Committee which represents all relevant interests prepares the Plan. In an area where farming predominates, farmers who own or occupy farming land in the area must comprise at least half of the membership of the committee.\n\n\n\nGroundwater - This dataset displays Victoria's groundwater Water Supply Protection Areas (WSPAs), and was originally prepared for Groundwater and Licensing Branch DSE, by LICS (Land Information Cartographic Services). Boundaries generaterd by LICS and Melbourne Water. Subsequent revisions have been undertaken by GLiB and the Rural Water Corporations.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nWSPAs are areas that have been (or are proposed to be) proclaimed under the Water Act 1989 for the purpose of establishing a management plan. The aim of the plan is to manage the groundwater resources of the WSPA equitably and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource. An extensive consultative process guarantees that groundwater users have a major input into the development of the Groundwater Management Plan for their area. A Ministerial appointed Consultative Committee, which represents all relevant interests, prepares the Plan. In an area where farming predominates, farmers who own or occupy farming land in the area must comprise at least half of the membership of the committee.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nGMA- This data has been derived by DEPI's Groundwater and Licensing Branch (GLiB) and the Rural Water Corporations. \n\nWSPA -Boundaries generated by LICS and Melbourne Water. Subsequent revisions have been undertaken by the Groundwater and Licensing Branch (GLiB) and the Rural Water Corporations.\n\n\n\nThe polygons within this dataset were selected from the larger statewide sets (named above and in the Lineage) based on their spatial location within the Gippsland project boundary (GUID 27413de5-d13a-4231-ac79-fc77f4cbb5f7). Process involved ArcGIS Select by location tool. The selected subsets were merged into one file.\n\n\n\nThis subset has been superseded by \n\nGMA and WSPA boundaries in Gippsland - geodatabase v2 (bfb32a2e-bf93-4c6a-a361-1817e85ddba9).\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (XXXX) GMA and WSPA boundaries in Gippsland - geodatabase.

**摘要**

本数据集及其元数据声明由生物区域评估计划（Bioregional Assessment Programme）从维多利亚州DEPI地下水部门提供的边界数据衍生而来。衍生数据集的父数据集已在本元数据声明的“谱系（Lineage）”字段中列明，该衍生数据集的制作流程则在本元数据声明的“历史（History）”字段中予以说明。

此子集地理数据库（geodatabase）收录了吉普斯兰（Gippsland）区域内的供水保护区（Water Supply Protection Area, WSPA）与地下水管理区（Groundwater Management Area, GMA）边界数据集。该子集已被《吉普斯兰GMA与WSPA边界地理数据库v2（bfb32a2e-bf93-4c6a-a361-1817e85ddba9）》所取代。

在维多利亚州地下水已被集约开发或具备开发潜力的区域，均已设立地下水管理区（GMA），并逐步划定允许开采量（Permissible Consumptive Volume, PCV）。可持续环境部（现更名为DELWP，编者注）通过州地下水监测网络对上述区域内的地下水资源进行监测，密切跟踪地下水位与分配给地下水使用者的取水量。

地表水——本数据集展示了维多利亚州地表水供水保护区（WSPAs），由LICS（土地信息制图服务部，Land Information Cartographic Services）与墨尔本水务局为可持续环境部地下水与许可分支部门及河流健康分支部门制作。

作为1989年《水法》2002年修正案的一部分，地表水被纳入监管范畴，以便在特定区域内设立供水保护区（WSPA）以保护地表水资源，随后将制定具有法律约束力的流量管理计划。该计划旨在公平管理供水保护区（WSPA）内的地表水资源，并确保资源的长期可持续性。广泛的咨询流程可确保地表水使用者能够深度参与所在区域流量管理计划的制定工作。该计划由部长任命的咨询委员会编制，委员会代表所有相关利益方；在以农业为主的区域，拥有或占用该区域农业用地的农场主必须占委员会成员总数的至少一半。

地下水——本数据集展示了维多利亚州地下水供水保护区（WSPAs），最初由LICS（土地信息制图服务部）为可持续环境部地下水与许可分支部门制作，边界由LICS与墨尔本水务局绘制。后续修订工作由地下水与许可分支部门（GLiB）及农村水务公司完成。

**数据用途**

供水保护区（WSPAs）是依据1989年《水法》宣布（或拟宣布设立）的区域，用于制定管理计划。该计划旨在公平管理供水保护区（WSPA）内的地下水资源，并确保资源的长期可持续性。广泛的咨询流程可确保地下水使用者能够深度参与所在区域地下水管理计划的制定工作。该计划由部长任命的咨询委员会编制，委员会代表所有相关利益方；在以农业为主的区域，拥有或占用该区域农业用地的农场主必须占委员会成员总数的至少一半。

**数据集历史**

GMA——本数据由DEPI地下水与许可分支部门（GLiB）及农村水务公司衍生制作。
WSPA——边界由LICS与墨尔本水务局绘制，后续修订工作由地下水与许可分支部门（GLiB）及农村水务公司完成。

本数据集内的多边形要素是依据其在吉普斯兰项目边界（GUID 27413de5-d13a-4231-ac79-fc77f4cbb5f7）内的空间位置，从更大范围的全州数据集（已在本部分及谱系字段中列明）中筛选得到，处理流程采用ArcGIS的按位置选择工具。筛选后的子集已合并为单个文件。

本子集已被《吉普斯兰GMA与WSPA边界地理数据库v2（bfb32a2e-bf93-4c6a-a361-1817e85ddba9）》所取代。
