Generalised land use regions based on their primary agricultural land use.

Hydrological zones are a broad spatial framework grouping areas with similar hydrology. They are used to report on dryland salinity and acidification of inland waterways in the ‘Report card on sustainable natural resource use in agriculture – status and trend in the agricultural areas of the south-west of Western Australia (2013)’. Zone boundaries are derived from hydrological attributes associated with the best available soil-landscape mapping, Version 5.01.
