New water resource data project

The Strategic Water Information Monitoring System (SWIMS) project will bring about a generational change in the way water resource data is collected, managed, reported and presented to customers and stakeholders.

The SWIMS project is being undertaken by the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources' (DEWNR) Water Resource Monitoring Unit, which manages a large number of water monitoring sites for both surface water and groundwater across South Australia.

DEWNR is seeking comments and feedback on the project.

More information about the project is available from the Water Resources section of the WaterConnect website

If the spatial data is under the custodianship of the Mineral Resources Division and/or Energy Resources Division of the Government of South Australia you can download the map layers from SARIG.

SARIG delivers map layers in multiple formats:

  • Vector data
    • ESRI Shapefiles, Geodatabases
    • MapInfo Tab files
    • Google Earth KMZ
  • Raster Data
    • GeoTIF (Georefereced TIFF)
    • ERS (Earth Resource Mapping Satellite)
    • ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet)
    • Petrosys (Petrosys Software)
  • Web Services
    • Web Map Services (WMS)
    • Web Feature Services (WFS)

Coordinate system

In SARIG all spatial layers are delivered in geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) based on the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). GDA94 is the current Australian standard based on the International terrestrial Reference Frame 1992 (ITRF92) and is compatible with the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Specifications for GDA94 can be found on the Geoscience Australia website.
