Area representing the watershed catchment of a waterway or the hydraulic catchment of an underground stormwater drain for each Melbourne Water drain / catchment number. Captured using available contours and underground stormwater pipe network information. This layer is intended:,

Catchment area for each Melbourne Water drain. Captured using available contours and drainage network information. This layer has two intended purposes:,

River basin catchment areas for Melbourne. This layer has two intended purposes: To provide a readily available amalgamation of MWC_Catchments that make up the river basins within Melbourne Water’s area. Useful for larger scale plans and maps.Data for basin boundaries have been captured by relevant State and Territory authorities from 1:10 000 and 1:250 000 scale source material. The balance of the data are from Geoscience Australia's GEODATA Coast 100K which includes coastlines and State and Territory borders. Topographic Drainage Divisions and River Region boundaries are updated based on current research, data and technology. It references previous work of the Australian Water Resources Management Committee as shown in Australia's River Basins 1997. This work is a collaboration of scientists from the Bureau of Meteorology, Australian National University Fenner School of Environment and Society, CSIRO Water for Healthy Country Flagship and Geoscience Australia.In late 2008, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), in partnership with Geoscience Australia, CSIRO and the Australian National University (ANU) commenced the development of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (Geofabric). Geofabric is being developed to underpin the Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS) within a single, consistent, national geospatial framework for hydrological features. Geoscience Australia's role in the Geofabric is to provide the best available national topographic spatial data for surface water features based on the National Topographic Data and Map Specifications. The river basin boundaries have been aligned (by Melbourne Water) to Melbourne Water Corporation (MWC) drainage catchments, to produce a consistent drainage and waterways catchment dataset to State level, since 2005.NOTE: Whilst every effort has been taken in collecting, validating and providing the attached data, Melbourne Water Corporation makes no representations or guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of this data.

River basin catchment areas for Melbourne. This layer has two intended purposes:,

Area representing the watershed / hydraulic catchment of major waterways. The "Major Catchment" layer divides each Primary catchment into the tributaries of a primary river. The delineation of a Major Catchment is by the watershed (natural or constructed) of a major drain or watercourse. Examples of major catchments are: Tributary of Yarra River, Darebin Creek, Tarago River and Corhanwarrbul Creek. This dataset provides a consolidated and consistent set of drainage catchments covering the entire Port Phillip and Westernport catchment area (Melbourne Water’s area of responsibility for waterways and drainage). The primary purpose of this layer is for the hydraulic modelling of catchments and waterways, and/or calculations.

This data contains points representing drain and waterway outlet locations, associated with a natural waterway or channel centreline, within the Greater Melbourne region. This region includes the Port Phillip Bay and Western Port coastlines. Points are captured to show the indicative location of the endpoint for a waterway or channel as geographic coordinates. The data table includes minimal attributes to assist in identifying the feature. Data was created using the waterway (Reach) layer from original FIS 1:50K (Vicmap Hydro) streams data set, which included only those waterways within catchments of greater than 60ha. Waterways (Reach) Rectification project undertaken 2001 to 2003 to review and correct the extent of the waterways reach network to ensure a complete data set exists (using the Drainage Metropolis Boundary, 50K data, 1:2500 Drainage Record Plans, Drainage Limits data, orthophotos, as constructed and/or design drawings, contour data and Melway Street Directory). Waterway (Reach) extents defined and attributes populated in GIS and AMIS for all records including assigning nodes and node numbers (for start / end points) and removing any reaches less than 100 metres in length that are predominantly channel assets. Waterways in extended area incorporated in 2005 using Vicmap Hydro data and aerial imagery, then updated in 2009/10 using Lidar survey data (contours). Data is maintained using Lidar survey data (contours) and 60 ha limits. Please refer to metadata for each dataset row record for specific source / accuracy information.

Layer containing water supply system catchment boundaries for water harvesting in the region of Melbourne. Includes catchment name, type, size of catchment and asset identifier. The type are defined by CATCHO (Open), CATCHC (Closed), and CATCH (Restricted). This layer is intended for general mapping purposes and internal use only, and is not to be used for detailed mapping of, or detailed calculation related to, water supply catchments. This layer is updated when new information is received from completed projects and/or updated from certified survey plans. Melbourne Water are responsible for reviewing and accepting information which results in update to the existing layer. Dataset also includes additional catchments captured originally e.g. Graceburn and Donnellys Weir.

Layer containing water main centre lines and associated details. Includes water main name, description, asset section (for As Constructed drawings) and key attributes for water transfer pipes, bypass connections, aqueducts. This layer is intended to be used to locate and obtain details on Melbourne Water's water supply transfer assets for asset management, buildover (Dial-Before-You-Dig) and operational / maintenance purposes. This layer is updated when new information is received from completed projects and updated from certified survey plans.

This layer delineates sewer catchments upstream of retail water company hydraulic information points. Sewer catchments which contribute directly to Melbourne Water assets are also included. This layer supports Melbourne Water to communicate high level data in regards to the existence and indicative location of assets within its responsibility to ensure they are protected throughout the assets life. This layer is updated when new information is received from completed projects and updated from certified survey plans.
