Description: This project was managed by DEC Wetlands Section and funded by the Department of Water through the National Water Commission's Groundwater Action Plan Fund. The Geomorphic Wetlands Cervantes South dataset displays the location, boundary and geomorphic classification of wetlands. Wetlands in this dataset have been classified into types according to the geomorphic wetland classification system (Semeniuk & Semeniuk 1995 and unpublished report to the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC 2007; VCSRG 2006a)). This classification system defines wetlands based on their landform and water permanence. Beaches and offshore islands and subterranean and artificial wetlands were not included in the scope of the project. Detailed methodology and results are described in the report Wetland mapping and classification Cervantes south (ENV 2010). A project summary is provided in the report Executive Summary: Cervantes South wetland mapping and classification project (DEC 2010). Both are available on DEC website. The Geomorphic Wetlands Cervantes South dataset project area is located on the Swan Coastal Plain. It is in the vicinity of Cervantes and Cataby, Shire of Dandaragan within the Midwest region of Western Australia. The project area is approximately 100,000ha and is based on the land area encompassed by eight 1:25,000 map sheets. Wetland extent was identified and geomorphic types identified and classified using a range of information sources including Landsat, orthophotos, hard copy stereoscopic aerial photographs, topography, soil types, remnant vegetation and hydrography. Approximately 4% of the total number of wetlands (8% of wetland area) was visited in the field to groundtruth desktop outputs and to provide positional accuracy and attribute accuracy data. A total of 770 wetlands were mapped in the project area and comprised approximately 20,221ha of mapped wetland extent (20% of total project area). The wetland types mapped (and the relative extent) were Palusplains (52%), Floodplains (27%), Damplands (11%), Creeks (3%), Sumplands (3%), Barlkarra (2%), Lakes (1%) and Rivers (0.3%).
