Index of Wetland Condition Scores

dataset: IWC2010_SCORES
The Index of Wetland Condition (IWC) is a standard method developed in Victoria for rapid assessment of wetland condition. It is based on the state of the biological, physical and chemical components of the wetland ecosystem and their interactions. The method aims to differentiate natural from human induced changes in wetland condition and assist in management decisions. It has six weighted sub-indices based on the characteristics that define wetlands: wetland catchment; physical form; hydrology; soils; water properties; and biota. It is primarily a site/habitat based assessment (individual wetland scale), some measures require wetland catchment scale assessment. This data set contains the results of 389 IWC assessments conducted between January 2009 and April 2011 to provide a snapshot of the condition of Victoria's wetlands.
