The drivers and consequences of change to the physical character of waterholes on an Australian dryland river

Abstract

This dataset provides all the raw and analysed data for the thesis titled 'The drivers and consequences of change to the physical character of waterholes on an Australian dryland river'. <br/> The data has been divided into four folders that are aligned with the data chapters for the thesis. These being: (Ch 2) waterhole mapping, (Ch 3) floodplain gullies, (Ch 4) sediment transport and (Ch 5) fish. <br/> A README file is provided for each chapter which contains a description of the individual datasets and a list of files that make up each dataset. <br/> The data in this archive is a combination of data obtained from desktop studies as well as field work on the Darling River (i.e., the fish data). <br/> Further, fish data were collected on the Darling River between Bourke and Wilcannia. Waterhole mapping was undertaken on the Barwon-Darling between Walgett and Wilcannia. Gully mapping was undertaken on the Barwon-Darling River between Mungindi and Wilcannia. Sediment transport capacity was assessed at five sites between Collarenebri and Tilpa.
