This dataset displays both natural and constructed waterbodies (generally greater than 625 m²)within the State of Queensland.
This dataset displays both natural and constructed watercourse lines (a way or course through which water flows from time-to-time) covering the State of Queensland.
]]>canal estate - The man-made constructed water area feature of a residential, subdivision development used for recreational activities and marine navigation.
drainage channel - A constructed watercourse designed for removing surplus water from the lands surface.
irrigation channel - A constructed watercourse used to support agricultural development and directing water from one area to another.
spilway area - A constructed path or channel for excess water to pass over or beside a dam wall or weir.
water supply lines - A constructed watercourse used to enable the transfer of stored or available water from one area to another.

]]>Flood Irrigation Storage - A body of water collected and stored behind constructed barriers, for the specific use of flooding pastures via internal irrigation systems.
Industrial Water Storage - A body of water collected and stored behind constructed barriers, for the specific use by industry.
Ornamental Lake - A permanent waterbody added to the landscape of parks, gardens, and recreational areas for aesthetic or recreational purposes.
Rural Water Storage - A body of water stored for rural farming and agricultural practices (except for Flood Irrigation Storage) and/or for the consumption of the associated landowners.
Storm water Basin - A constructed basin designed to hold and distribute water runoff.
Town Water Storage - A body of water collected and stored behind a constructed barrier for some specific use by peri-urban, and rural township populations. The water is treated post storage and connected to regulated water networks.
To provide digital data displaying a natural occurring body of standing water surrounded by land.
Land Subject to Inundation - Low lying land usually adjacent to lakes or watercourses, which is regularly covered with flood water for short periods.
Marine Swamp - A low-lying area of salty brackish waters and covered with characteristic grasses, reed growths and mangroves.
Saline Coastal Flat - Those areas to the landward side of the coastline subject to tidal inundation and will be devoid of vegetation.
Swamp - An area of land so saturated with fresh water that it is not suitable for agricultural or pastoral use and presents a barrier to free passage.
A natural depression that collects and holds perennial water within an Ephemeral watercourse or an isolated natural depression not within a watercourse channel.
Pool - A small isolated natural depression not within a watercourse (Perennial or Near Perennial) that retains standing water.
Rockhole – A natural hole formed by the weathering of solid rock that fills with water during local rainfall events.
A open body of water on a rural property, collected and stored behind a simple constructed barrier. Generally designed to capture the run-off from rainfall over the surrounding landscape (area less than 625 m²)
