Catchment area for each Melbourne Water drain. Captured using available contours and drainage network information. This layer has two intended purposes: 

  1. To enable the identification of the receiving Melbourne Water waterway/drain for any property, area or point. 
  2. To provide a framework of catchments for hydrologic modelling that can be further divided or amalgamated to suit the needs of the modeller.
