NAME

Yes

Text

100

The name of the feature (if available)

 

ALTERNATE_NAME

Yes

Text

100

 

An alternate name of the feature if available from the Queensland Place Names Database, otherwise left blank.

 

 

QLD_PNDB_ID

Yes

Long

 

Queensland Place Names Database unique identifier

 

ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE

No

Text

100

 

If the feature is named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data from which the features name has been obtained.

If the feature is not named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data used to define what the feature type is.  

 

 

ATTRIBUTE_DATE

No

Date

 

Date of the source imagery, map, or data used for attributing the feature.

 

ADDITIONAL_NAMES

Yes

Text

100

 

The feature may be commonly known by other names or have different spelling. Multiple additional names can be shown and separated by a comma.

 

 

ADD_NAMES_SOURCE

Yes

Text

100

 

The source map or data that the additional names were obtained.  Multiple sources can be shown, separated by a comma. If multiple sources are shown, the written sequence will be the same as the written sequence of the names themselves.

 

 

FEATURE_SOURCE

No

Text

100

The source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location of the feature was obtained from.

 

FEATURE_DATE

No

Date

 

Date of the feature source information that the location of the feature was obtained from.

 

PERENNIALITY

No

Text

15

 

An indicator as to the temporal continuity of the presence of water. Options:

Ephemeral

dm_perennility

DRAINAGE_BASIN

No

Text

50

The name of the drainage basin the feature is situated in.

 

PFI

No

Text

15

 

A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated for each feature at the point of creation in the database. The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

 

 

UFI

No

Text

15

 

A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated for each new feature at the point of creation in the database (at this point the PFI and UFI will be the same). The value of the UFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) unless the feature is split into multiple other parts. If the feature is split, the separate parts will retain the original PFI but new UFI’s will be generated for the split parts. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

 

 

CREATED_DATE*

No

Date

 

The date the feature was originally captured and first loaded to the database

*Internal use only

 

LAST_EDITED_DATE*

Yes

Date

 

Date of the last editing or revision to the feature

*internal use only

 

UPPER_SCALE

No

Long

 

The upper scale for which the feature should be considered suitable for digital display

dm_upper_scale

TEXT_NOTE

titleFeature Type definitions:

Farm Dam – An 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

Waterhole – A natural depression that collects and holds perennial water within an Ephemeral watercourse or an isolated natural depression not within a watercourse channel.

Expand
titleFunction definitions:Origin

Constructed - A constructed waterbody point that has had human interaction.

Natural – The natural unaltered waterbody there has been no human interaction.

titleCapture Process:Function definitions:

Gamma Hole - Natural cavities of varying shape, diameter, and depth, found in hard granite outcrops and in the decomposed granite of a breakaway, which can and usually does hold water.

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.

Rural Water Supply - A constructed permanent waterbody delivering water to rural or semi-rural properties for the consumption of the associated landowners.

Waterhole – A natural depression that collects and holds perennial water within an Ephemeral watercourse or an isolated natural depression not within a watercourse channel.

Expand
titlePerenniality:

Ephemeral – Water is only available during and for a short period after rainfall.

Intermittent – Water is available for a considerable period of the year but not all the year.

Near Perennial – Water is generally available all year but not in all years.

Perennial – Water is available for all the year.

Unknown – The perenniality of the watercourse is unknown or not yet classified.
