ANZMeta v1.2 Metadata Groundwater SDL Resource Units Dataset_Information Description Data_Currency Data_Status Access Data_Quality Contact_Information Metadata_Date Supplementary_Information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dataset_Information: Title: Groundwater SDL Resource Units ANZLIC Identifier: Custodian: Murray-Darling Basin Authority Jurisdiction: Australia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Abstract: This dataset defines the boundaries of the 94 groundwater SDL resource units in the Murray-Darling Basin. These include 2 groundwater SDL resource units for deep groundwater that lie beneath the 92 groundwater SDL resource units. In some areas, there are SDL resource units that overlap one another (eg: GS1). This occurs where SDLs have been set for discrete aquifers that overlie one another under the same area of land. These can be differentiated by the GWSDLName field. There are areas of overlap between the groundwater and deep groundwater SDL resource units which need to be taken into account when viewing the data. These can be differentiated by the GWSDLType field.

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. Attribute information is also published in the Guide to the Proposed Basin Plan. Some differences might occur in lower or upper case, hyphen, em dash, and abbreviation of State names. Logical Consistency: All features were topologically checked to verify no overlaps or gaps between features. Basin and State boundaries were aligned to MDB and State boundaries (GEODATA TOPO 250K) provided by SEWPAC and Geoscience Australia respectively. This dataset contains overlapped polygons that are intended to represent the units at different depths. Completeness: Complete for Murray-Darling Basin, except for some areas in South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact_Information: Organisation: Murray-Darling Basin Authority Position: Manager, Natural Resource Information Unit GPO BOX 1801 Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia 2601 Phone: 02 6279 0100 Fax: 02 6230 7579 Email: gis@mdba.gov.au -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metadata_Date: Date: 21/10/2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supplementary_Information: Supplementary Information:
