Permanent and Semi-Permanent Waterbodies of the Lake Eyre Basin (Queensland and South Australia) (DRAFT)

Brief description

## **Abstract**

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.



This dataset presents information about the distribution and permanency of waterholes, springs, rockholes and lakes in the Queensland and South Australian sections of the Lake Eyre Basin. Data was collected in 2008-2009, mostly from surveys of people with long-term knowledge of certain water bodies. Wetland mapping programs in both states provided the baseline data for waterholes and lakes (EPA 2005; Wainwright et al. 2006), while springs data was compiled by Fensham & Fairfax (2005).
