Surface expression GDE point features include spring wetlands. Information about the location and extent of known and potential GDEs was sourced from expert knowledge,field surveyliterature and existing datasets. This dataset is one of five datasets that describe the distribution of known and potential GDEs across the landscape. The complete set of GDE datasets is: 1. Surface expression GDE points, 2. Surface expression GDE lines, 3. Surface expression GDE areas, 4. Terrestrial GDE areas, 5. Subterranean GDE areas. As the different types of GDEs represent different overlapping layers or cross-sections of the landscape, it is recommended that the datasets be mapped in the order of listing shown above (i.e. surface expression GDE points on top) to maintain logical consistency and assist visualization.Version 1.0 (released October 2012) - mapping covers the whole of QueenslandVersion 1.1 (released May 2013) - updated mapping covers the whole of QueenslandVersion 1.2 doesnot existVersion 1.3 (released July 2015) - updated mapping covers the whole of Queensland and includes significant updates to attributionVersion 1.4 (released December 2015) - no change from version 1.3Version 1.5 (released March 2017) - mapping covering the whole of Queensland improved.Version 1.5.1 (released in May 2018) - mapping attribution revised to update hyperlinks to supporting material delivered via webpages.", "summary": "Surface expression groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDE) points", "title": "qld_gde_surface_points", "tags": [ "Queensland (QLD)", "inlandWaters, environment", "WATER Springs, WATER, WATER Wetlands Mapping, WATER Wetlands, WATER Mapping, WATER Groundwater, WATER Groundwater Mapping, ECOLOGY Ecosystem" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "While every care is taken to ensure the accuracy of this information, the Queensland Department of Environment and Science makes no representations or warranties about its accuracy, reliability, completeness or suitability for any particular purpose and disclaims all responsibility and all liability (including without limitation, liability in negligence) for all expenses, losses, damages (including indirect or consequential damage) and costs which might be incurred as a result of the information being inaccurate or incomplete in any way and for any reason. © The State of Queensland (Department of Environment and Science) 2018." }
