Waterlogging Risk Mapping For Soil Landscapes

Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development provides waterlogging risk mapping derived from land quality attribution for soil-landscape subsystems. The dataset is an update to two previous versions, with the latest update in March 2026. It is published under a Creative Commons license.

Use Cases

• Assess waterlogging risk across soil-landscape subsystems for agricultural land management planning.
• Integrate waterlogging risk layers with subsurface and hazards data for environmental impact modeling.
• Analyze spatial patterns of waterlogging risk in relation to soil and landscape quality attributes.

Strengths

• Dataset is an updated version, superseding two previous releases from 2003 and 2004.
• Derived from authoritative technical documentation (Resource Management Technical Report 298).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, Geopackage, and Shapefile for interoperability.

Limitations

• No row or column count is provided, limiting understanding of dataset scale and granularity.
• The underlying technical report is from 2005, which may not reflect contemporary soil science models.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing preview of data structure and attribute values.
