Title: Salinity Hazard Mapping
Custodian: Department of Land and Water Conservation (DLWC)
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
Salinity hazard map of NSW shows the varying degree of risk of salinity occurrence throughout NSW.
- SOIL Chemistry
- WATER Quality
- Geographic extent name:
- NEW SOUTH WALES - State or Territory - New South Wales
- Geographic extent polygon:
- 141 -37.5, 154 -37.5, 154 -28, 141 -28, 141 -37.5
Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate)
Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 28 00 00.0 S (-28)
- South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
- East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154)
- West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
Lineage:
Land attribute data collected by Land Information Centre. GIS analysis combined with 'weights of evidence' methodology used to produce a combination map of salinity hazard.
Positional accuracy:
Very broad scale - borders not very accurate.
Attribute accuracy:
As above.
Logical consistency:
Not tested.
Completeness:
100% complete.
