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: 26 00 00.0 S (-26)
- South bounding latitude: 38 30 00.0 S (-38.5)
- East bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
- West bounding longitude: 129 00 00.0 E (129)
Lineage:
Samples were collected each month where some evidence of surface flow as present and analysed for nutrients, metals, water clarity, major ions, and phsyical characteristics. Monitoring was carried out by the Engineering and Water Supply department from 1978 to 1984.
Positional accuracy:
+-50m
Attribute accuracy:
Subject to quality control at laboratory
Logical consistency:
