NSW Hydro Line defines the centreline of a water course. It includes features such as natural water course, canal-drain, race, spill way and tunnel-siphon. It includes key attributes such as hydro line name, perennially and flow direction.

NSW Named Water Course defines the centreline of a named water course as a single feature. It is an aggregation of Hydro Line parts.

NSW Hydro Point defines point hydrographic feature types. It represents points of standard bodies of inland water where flow is minor and is defined as either natural water body or man-made water body. The dataset also indicates whether a hydro point is perennial, non-perennial or mainly dry.

NSW Ancillary Hydro Point data represents a location that has unique hydrology characteristics or monitors or controls stream flow or manages hydrographical spatial data integrity. Features within an ancillary hydro point class include: bore, lock, rapids, spring, tidal limit marker, waterfall, dissipation point, regulators, barriers, river gauge, and sink.

A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Water Theme - Hydro AreaContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW Hydro Area is a polygon feature class defining hydrographic feature types. This feature class is divided into waterbody area and water course. Features within a Hydro Area class include:Waterbody - is a standard body of inland water of which flow is minor. Waterbody may be natural waterbody or man-made waterbody.Watercourse - is a way or course through which water may pass.Hydro Area feature class is also classified as perennial, non- perennial or mainly dry.Water security is one of Australia’s major challenges.Key users of the hydrology data are NSW State and Local Government agencies as well as Federal Government agencies. These bodies use this data to better manage State and Local Government assets. This hydrology data provides the NSW component of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric which is a critical input to the Australian Water Resources Information System.More widespread use of the hydrology data is also found in emergency management response and recovery efforts, hazard mitigation or disaster risk reduction, climate change, natural resource assessment, environmental planning and monitoring, insurance, mining and agriculture.Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians; by data verification from other internal and external databases; research and through Spatial Services’ regular cycle of updating from aerial imagery and elevation data.Initial Publication Date06/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

The "Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans" (previously titled Urban Water Management Plans) dataset relates to integrating the land use planning system with planning for water management. The preparation of water management plans and strategies ensures that water is managed effectively in the urban form at each stage of the planning system. The dataset is used by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation to identify drainage and water management plans, district water management strategies, local water management strategies, local water management frameworks and urban water management plans that have been prepared in accordance with the Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008) planning framework. The outline of the areas for drainage and water management plans and district water management strategies may be included when the draft report is in preparation. Local water management strategies and urban water management plans that have been approved by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation shall be included in the dataset. Amendments to the planning approval process occurred in October 2008 with the introduction of Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008). Reports prepared previously such as Drainage and Nutrient Management Plans, Nutrient and Pollutant Management Plans and Integrated Water Management Strategies, do not accurately correspond with a category outlined in the Better Urban Water Management framework. These plans have been allocated to the most appropriate category and may not be consistent with the requirements outlined in Better Urban Water Management. Dataset was formerly known as Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans (DOW-031)
