Resource purpose/summary
Water management datasets support the management of Queensland’s water resources through the Water Act 2000. The main purposes of this Act is to provide a framework for the following -
(a) The sustainable management of Queensland’s water resources and quarry material by establishing a system for –
    (i) the planning, allocation and use of water; and
    (ii) the allocation of quarry material and riverine protection;
(b) the sustainable and secure water supply and demand management for the south-east Queensland region and other designated regions;
(c) the management of impacts on underground water caused by the exercise of undergrounds water rights by the resource sector;
(d) the effective operation of water authorities
Additional human language abstract/description

A water plan is a plan over a part of the State and advances the sustainable management of Queensland's water. This dataset displays the coverage of individual water plans.

Report
Data quality report, measure description
The majority of the data is complete with all data being subject to continual update.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
Data should be free from overshoots, undershoot and duplicate lines.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
Data has been collected and checked from many sources which have their own horizontal accuracy. The data therefore has a range of positional accuracies depending on the source of the feature.  In the case of orthophotos and satellite imagery the accuracy is within +/- 5 metres of actual position, whereas features compiled from DCDB data is related to the accuracy of the DCDB at the time of capture, and the accuracy of features captured from existing printed topographic maps is within +/- 12.5 metres of actual position.  In cases where data has been field verified the accuracy will be sub-metre.  While the data can be used for a range of purposes, generally the expected average horizontal accuracy is within +/- 12.5 metres of true position.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
Attribution is complete in many instances, however continual upgrading of attribution is continuing.
Data Lineage
Lineage statement, a general explanation
In developing a Water Plan, the process generally includes the following stages:

• technical assessments (environmental, economic, social, hydrologic and cultural data)
• preliminary stakeholder consultation
• preparation of a draft water plan
• publication of draft plan and opportunity for public submissions
• consideration of submissions
• finalization and approval of water plan

Science underpins the development of water plans. These technical assessments include:
• environmental assessments: ecological modelling using data collected on the flow requirements of ecosystems
• hydrologic assessments: models which draw on over 100 years of recorded flow data
• social, economic and cultural assessments: identification of water related social, economic and cultural values.

Consultation with a range of interested people including:
• regional communities
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups
• conservation groups
• industry
• local government.

The available water can be granted through water licenses and tradeable water allocations.
A certain amount of water is reserved as unallocated water.

As part of the Water Plan development process, spatial datasets are created for use in the water plan, mapping and in public consultation.
Water Services Officers across the state consult with Spatial Information Officers in the interpretation of the technical assessments and community consultation to compile these spatial datasets.
In the first instance, a water plan area is the corresponding drainage basin with modifications as required to meet the needs of the plan.
This may mean following cadastral boundaries rather than topological features.
Mapping scale is generally 1:100,000 and enhanced in places with larger scale mapping (for example 1:25,000) and in places by visiting the location and ground truthing.
