Condition is assessed using Compere, a relative performance bench marking framework that compares one location's value to the values of all biophysically equivalent locations in a given region. Resulting condition estimates range from 0 (lowest observed cover among equivalents) to 1 (highest observed). Underlying total vegetation cover data are the total fraction of ground covered by green and senesced plant material (Guerschman et al., 2018, Remote Sensing of Environment 113, 928-945). Cover condition has been assessed yearly from 2001 to 2018 at a grid resolution of 500 m.  \n\n\n## **Attribution** \nGeological and Bioregional Assessment Program\n\n\n## **History** \nAnnual rainfall, historical NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index), slope and total cover fraction data were used to calculate cover condition.  Annual rainfall was from the Bureau of Meteorology daily 5 km gridded data (Jeffrey et al., 2001).  NDVI was from MODIS MOD13Q1 and MOD09Q1 data.  Slope was from the CSIRO\u2019s SRTM 9\uf0b2 digital elevation model data (Gallant et al., 2011).  Cover was from CSIRO\u2019s fractional cover data (derived from MCD43A4 data, Guerschman and Hill, 2018).\r\nSurface Water Points data and the Sturt National Park boundary data were used to test results.  These were sourced from Crossman and Li (2015) and Commonwealth of Australia (2019), respectively.\r\nBackground NDVI, slope and annual rainfall were used quantify locations that were biophysically equivalent to a given target location.  The total cover fraction of the target was compared to that from all \u2018equivalent\u2019 locations to yield a relative ranking of the target\u2019s cover value.  This is interpreted directly as cover condition.  This was repeated for all locations (grid cells) and years.\r\nAn assessment of the impact of the mining industry on cover condition across the Cooper region was undertaken, using confidential well location data. \r\nSee associated publications for more details.\r\nJones, D.A., Wang, W., & Fawcett, R.

There are two separate programs of bioregional assessments.\r\n\r\nThe Bioregional Assessment Program (2012 - 2017) seeks to better understand the potential impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining developments on water resources and water-related assets. It is one of a number of actions undertaken by the Australian Government to strengthen the science underpinning decision making on coal seam gas and large coal mining developments.\r\n\r\nThe Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program (2017 - 2021) assessed the potential impacts of shale and tight gas development on water and the environment.
