- Statement
-
Data have been gathered from a variety of sources including:
- State water authorities and other agencies' registers of dams;
- Geoscience Australia's 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 topographic maps;
- Various larger scale specialist maps and plans;
- Annual Reports; and
- Numerous private industry publications including journals and newspapers.
Combining information gleaned from all the above sources, the latitude/longitude of each was calculated and added directly into the database. Depending on the detail of the source information, the calculated value was to the nearest minute at worst and second at best.
