Features and Limitations

Caution Notes For User

Detailed data limitations are described in the documentation.
The key limitations relate to:
- The resolution of the DEM is such that the sinuosity of most of river channels is not fully represented;
- In very flat areas such as the Riverine Plain along the Murray, channel alignment has to be manually specified since the DEM does not provide a reasonable channel network;
- The upstream boundary of the network is not based on the appearance of formed river channel, but on the artificial threshold of 2 km2.
For the specific purpose of the project, limited checking of attributed data was carried out. Other users need to check the attributed data again for their own purposes.
