Modifications

The drainage basins layer used by WetlandSummary is based on the source layers below, with the following modifications:

  • Name is the value of the basin_name field
  • Excluded feature with basin_numb="416 QLDNSW" as it is a duplicate of the already clipped Border Rivers basin with basin_numb="416"
  • Excluded a total of 1 feature by filtering
  • Clipped 17 features extending partially beyond the Queensland border (some may be due to minor misalignment at the border)
