Description

Abstract:

Wetlands below 1000m in the ACT. This data set identifies wetland areas in the ACT below 1000 metres. Potential wetland areas were identified using aerial photographs taken over several years. Wetland areas appearing over more then one year were mapped as polygons and transferred to 1:10 000 scale topograhpic maps using a zoom transfer scope. These polygons were digitised and processed in ArcView 3.0a.
