Integrating disparate geospatial data to produce a geographic information system for the Namoi catchmant

Date Issued:2007-07-24

Abstract

This project collected and collated soil and other geospatial data into a common location andprojection to provide a GIS for the Namoi Catchment Management Authority (CMA) to provideinformation for land management within the Namoi Catchment. Soil information was successfullyobtained from a number of disparate sources: individuals, government departments and researchorganisations or institutions. Unfortunately it was not possible to collate all known soil data for thecatchment as some data were not made publicly available. The geospatial data obtained from varioussources, and derived as part of this project, were successfully brought into a common projection and aGIS provided to the Namoi CMA. This GIS will be useful in planning future field work to target areaswithout sufficient coverage currently as well as providing a source of information for the CMA andother stakeholders in the catchment.
