Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment Boundaries for Waterwatch Monitoring

The dataset provides boundaries for major water sub-catchments within the Upper Murrumbidgee River catchment. It is maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue (ACTmapi) and was last updated on April 4, 2026. The data supports community monitoring of water quality, waterbug diversity, and riparian vegetation condition.

Use Cases

• Mapping catchment boundaries for spatial analysis based on the described geospatial boundaries.
• Analyzing water quality trends across sub-catchments based on volunteer-collected water quality data mentioned in the description.
• Monitoring biodiversity changes based on waterbug diversity and abundance data mentioned in the description.
• Assessing riparian vegetation condition across different catchment areas based on the described monitoring program.
• Supporting on-ground catchment management decisions based on volunteer-collected data mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple formats including ARCGIS GEOSERVICES REST API, CSV, GPKG, and GEOJSON.
• Dataset is sourced from an authoritative government geospatial catalogue (ACTmapi).
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-04-04 02:59:15.889448.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Upper Murrumbidgee catchment region.
