Description: 
Abstract: 

These points represent the 122 hydrologic indicator sites chosen to cover specified environmental objectives and targets, environmental water requirements or environmental demands.  These sites are called hydrologic indicator sites.  The hydrologic indicator sites and flows described at those sites are intended to represent the broader environmental flow needs of river valleys or reaches.  The selection of sites and flows described focus on those areas and issues with greatest sensitivity to the environmentally sustainable level of take.

Data_Quality: 
Lineage: 

This dataset was extracted from Murray-Darling Basin modelling nodes based on HIS attribute number. This indicator sites was selected based on the available information regarding the key environmental assets (KEA) and key ecosystem functions (KEF) to establish environmental water requirements. The fundamental principle of this approach is the reinstatements of the flow components to a level that fulfils the Basin Plan objective of a healthy working Basin. The modelling nodes dataset itself is sourced from the modelling done for the Sustainable Yields projects executed by CSIRO and enhanced during 2010 – 2011 by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority in close cooperation with the Basin States for the preparation of the Basin Plan.

Please note that these sites are based on modelling nodes that correspond to a modelling diagram. Therefore, some sites may not be located on the actual river network.

Positional Accuracy: 

This dataset is a composite product and the positional accuracy depends on the source datasets specified under the heading 'Lineage'.

Attribute Accuracy: 

Attribute information is estimated to be accurate. Feature ID and name were provided to the NRI unit by the respective MDBA program area.

Logical Consistency: 

No overlap points.
