Surface Water Sites (WMIS)

dataset: SW_SITES
This layer contains the location of surface water monitoring sites in the Water Measurement Information System (WMIS). WMIS is the primary access point to search, discover, access and download surface water and surface monitoring data collected by DEPI and its partners. More detailed information on individual surface monitoring sites , can be accessed via the WMIS site at http://data.water.vic.gov.au/monitoring.htm.

Supplemental Information
Current Design Issues: Each bore needs to be uniquely identified (via attribute bore-id) to enable linkage to the groundwater and other databases. Additional ID attributes are required to support earlier numbering schemes still extant within some of the associated databases. A subset of textual information has been extracted from the parent databases (ie monfreq, zone, easting, northing) to enhance the layers useability. Future Design Issues: Layer enhancements to enable linkage to time series water level, lithological and water quality data will be a future requirement. These linkages may be to other existing database systems. Related Documents: None http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/waterdata

Quality

Conceptual Consistency
Because the layer is an aggregation of bores from several groups and databases this influences it's logical consistency. Bores derived from CLPR are used for research and groundwater monitoring purposes (and may be located near roads to facilitate measurement) while those from SKM are utilitarian, have differing deployment patterns and support a range of activities (ie. private bores sunk for irrigation, offshore drilling³s for oil exploration etc). 
Missing Data
Surface water monitoing sites are located across the State. 
Attribute Quality
Only a subset of attributes from the parent databases have been included in the layer. The accuracy of these attribute varies across the State. 
Positional Accuracy
Precision: The current positional accuracy of the bore locations is variable. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the bores are in the wrong locations to a significant degree. A more comprehensive spatial error analysis is required. Determination: - Not Documented
