The map does not include all locations that may have iron staining potential. Groundwater staining is commonly caused by the presence of ferric iron in the groundwater (refer to section on groundwater staining), however staining is also caused by manganese and calcium. This set was developed for ‘Perth Groundwater Atlas (2nd Edition), 2004’. Low Risk: Generally areas away from present or past wetlands with neutral to alkaline pH's will tend to be low in iron concentration. As soil strata are highly variable, neighbourhood bores should be checked to confirm the status of local iron staining risk. Notes: The accuracy of the 'Perth Groundwater Atlas (2nd Edition), 2004' is limited by the number of sampled monitoring bores. A high density of monitoring bores is generally associated with well-developed suburbs. A reduction in the density occurs in the outlying areas of the Atlas, such as those locations close to the Darling Scarp in the eastern edge of the dataset, or in the southern portions of the map sheet. This dataset was formerly known as Iron Staining Risk (DOW-063) {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.56268146600007, -32.692771291999975], [116.04684896800006, -32.692771291999975], [116.04684896800006, -31.459586614999978], [115.56268146600007, -31.459586614999978], [115.56268146600007, -32.692771291999975]]]} 115.56268146600007 116.04684896800006 -32.692771291999975 -31.459586614999978 BOUNDARIES Management Climate and Weather DWER ECOLOGY Habitat GEOSCIENCES Hydrogeology Groundwater Hydrochemistry Hydrology Land Use Salinity Water Water Quality Wetlands Iron Staining Risk documentDigital Metadata Statement: Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) TXT Geopackage documentDigital This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a GeoPackage.

WFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WFS ArcGIS Server Map Service documentDigital An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps. Depending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS and QGIS. API ArcGIS Server Map Service Web Mapping Service documentDigital Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the internet that are generated by a map server using data from a GIS database. WMS allows a user to spatially visualise the dataset, and query individual features, but does not allow downloading the raw data.
