Australia's River Basins 1997 (GA)

Australia's River Basins 1997 is the result of a joint State, Territory and Commonwealth Government project to create a national spatial database of major hydrological basins. It shows the boundaries of Australia's basins as defined by the Australian Water Resources Management Committee (WRMC). Australia is divided into drainage divisions which are sub-divided into water regions which are in-turn sub-divided into river basins. The data includes the name and number of each of the 245 drainage basins, 77 regions, and 12 divisions. This metadata was prepared for the eAtlas and is not authoritative. Please contact the custodian for an authoritative record. Data Location: A copy of this dataset is filed in the eAtlas enduring data repository at: data\other\AU_GA_River-basins-1997
