Annual Rainfall Erosivity (R-factor) for New South Wales from 2001

New South Wales data packages provide modelled annual rainfall erosivity (R-factor) for years commencing 2001. The dataset includes mean annual R-factor values calculated across the year range. It is published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

Use Cases

• Model soil erosion risk based on annual rainfall erosivity data.
• Assess long-term environmental change impacts based on modelled R-factor time series.
• Inform land management and conservation planning based on spatial erosivity patterns.

Strengths

• Data covers New South Wales, a specific Australian state.
• Time series begins in 2001, providing a multi-year record.
• Published by a government environmental department.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data freshness should be verified despite a last updated date of 2026-05-17.
