Probable Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems - Namoi

The purpose of this project is to create a data set that identifies vegetation communities that have a probability of being a groundwater dependent ecosystem within NSW. Probability categories are high, medium, low and non GDE. The data is required to meet legislative requirements for water sharing plans and water resource plans. This is a base data layer that can be used to aid research projects, assessment of state significant development applications, licence applications and compliance issues. For ease of data modelling and management, the dataset was divided into the following catchment management areas; Border Rivers-Gwydir, Central Tablelands, Central West, Hawkesbury-Nepean, Hunter-Central Rivers, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murray- Murrumbidgee, Namoi, Northern Rivers, Southern Rivers, Southern Tablelands, Sydney Metro and Western Division (Far West and Western MDBA). Please note: Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem mapping used the NSW DPE Environment and Heritage vegetation mapping product as the underlying data source. NSW DPE Water activities such as bore applications that are examined at a site specific scale may need subsequent verification to confirm.

本项目旨在构建一套数据集，用于识别新南威尔士州（New South Wales，简称NSW）内具备地下水依赖生态系统（Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem，GDE）概率的植物群落。该数据集的概率等级划分为高、中、低以及非GDE四类。
本数据集需满足水分配计划与水资源规划的法定要求，可作为基础数据图层，辅助科研项目开展、州级重大开发申请评估、许可证申请办理以及合规性审查等工作。
为便于数据建模与管理，本数据集按以下流域管理区域进行划分：边境河流-吉迪尔、中部台地、中西部、霍克斯伯里-内皮恩、亨特-中部河流、拉克兰河、下墨累-达令、墨累-默伦比奇、纳莫伊河、北部河流区、南部河流区、南部台地、悉尼都会区以及西部片区（远西部与西部墨累-达令盆地管理局（Murray-Darling Basin Authority，简称MDBA）辖区）。
请注意：本GDE制图以新南威尔士州环境与遗产部（NSW Department of Planning and Environment，简称DPE）的植被制图产品作为基础数据源。新南威尔士州环境与遗产部的水利相关工作（例如经特定场地审查的钻井申请）可能需要后续验证以确认相关信息。
