Galilee mines footprints

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This data set provides mine footprint areas for seven proposed coal mines in the Galilee subregion that were included in surface water modelling.

Purpose

This data set was used to identify surface water node catchments that were partly or fully occupied by a proposed coal mine developments in the Galilee subregion. This information is essential to estimate the changes in surface water flow due to mining operation.

Dataset History

Footprint maps of seven proposed coal mines in the Galilee subregion were obtained from the mine EIS and SEIS reports (see lineage) to produce general outlines for the surface water model.
