Title
Monitoring points from the Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse (obsolete - please use GW_SITES) 
Alternate title
DW_POINTS 
Purpose
The layer provides consolidated statewide detail on the location of groundwater bores and water monitoring points. It is a key layer involved in supporting hydrological research, monitoring of catchment processes and measurement of effectiveness of catchment management strategies. The layer has different classes of monitoring sites, namely it has been divided into monitoring type (either the quantity or quality), operational status (either active or inactive) and waterbody monitored (eg Groundwater bores or Lakes etc). The points show the approximate location of either where the samples are taken in lakes, reservoirs or estuaries, or where the monitoring station is located on waterways. Numbering of the monitoring points differ; GMS Bores are marked with a 'B' at the start of the code (format: Bxxxxx). Hydrographic and VWQMN Sites: denoted by a six digit code (based on Australian Water Resources Council drainage divisions). The first number refers to the division the stream drains to, the next two digits refer to the basin the site is found in. The last three follow a numerical sequence where higher numbers refer to sites more recently commissioned.
