The Surface Hydrology Polygons (National) dataset presents the spatial locations of surface hydrology polygon features and its attributes. The dataset represents the Australia's surface hydrology at a national scale. It includes natural and man-made geographic features such as: watercourse areas, swamps, reservoirs, canals, etc. This product presents hydrology polygon features which will topological connect with the hydrology line features and forms a complete flow path network for the entire continental of Australia.

Dataset Lineage

The Surface Hydrology Polygons (National) dataset is a collaborative effort by Geoscience Australia and state governments. Geoscience Australia has conflated a 1:250,000 national digital surface hydrology dataset from and aggregated best available jurisdiction dataset. This dataset contains the hydrology polygon features only.
