Background This report describes a project which involved the capture and processing of LiDAR and coincident imagery and resultant derived products for the lower reaches of the Darling River. The data joins two existing LiDAR datasets, one to the north covering the Menindee Lakes and the other in the south along the Murray River corridor. It is intended to provide the Murray-Darling Basin Authority with a very accurate, quality assured measurement of topography in order to accurately model the flow and volume of water in the floodplains within the project area. The LiDAR was captured in April and May 2013 at a point density of two 1st return points per square metre within swath, (equivalent to two outgoing laser pulses per square metre at ground level). The specified accuracies; 30cm vertical and 80cm horizontal, were achieved and verified through a rigorous network of ground check points and base stations. A set of seamless products were produced including hydro-flattened bare earth DEMs, DSMs and cartographic contours. The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.
