<idAbs>Australian Drainage Divisions (ADDs) are an ABS approximation of drainage divisions. Drainage divisions are defined by major landscape features and climatic zones to form broad hydrological regions as represented in the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (Geofabric, 2014 version 2) developed by the Bureau of Meteorology. Unlike in 2011, when the Australian Drainage Divisions were built from Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1), in this edition they have been built from Mesh Blocks.
Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication:
Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 3 - Non ABS Structure, July 2016 (cat no. 1270.0.55.003). http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/mf/1270.0.55.003
</idAbs>
<idPurp>The ASGS Australian Drainage Divisions are an ABS approximation of those provided through Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric, using allocations of one or more Mesh Blocks based on area of overlap (not greatest share of estimated population, as for most other non ABS structures). ASGS Australian Drainage Divisions are created to enable the release of ABS data on areas that, as closely as possible, approximate those provided in the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric. The use of Mesh Blocks is different to that used in 2011 where these Australian Drainage Divisions were defined using whole SA1s. This is a significant change and as a result of this change the overall accuracy has been greatly increased. The 2016 ASGS Australian Drainage Divisions are defined to cover the whole of geographic Australia, excluding the Territories of Norfolk Island , Cocos (Keeling) and Christmas Islands. Australian Drainage Divisions can cross state borders.

<statement>ADD boundaries were created using various sources including the Bureau of Meteorology, PSMA digital datasets and ABS boundaries, zoning information from state planning agencies and imagery.
Positional Accuracy:
Positional accuracy is an assessment of the closeness of the location of the spatial objects in relation to their true positions on the earth's surface. The positional accuracy includes:
-a horizontal accuracy assessment
-a vertical accuracy assessment
Positional accuracy for ABS boundaries is dependent on the accuracy of the features they have been aligned to. ABS boundaries are aligned to a number of layers supplied by PSMA with an accuracy of +/-50 mm. PSMA layers and their positional accuracy are as follows:
-Transport and Topography +/- 2 meters in urban areas and +/- 10 meters in rural and remote areas
-CadLite +/- 2 meters in urban areas and +/- 10 meters in rural and remote areas
-Administrative Boundaries Derived from the cadastre data from each Australian State and Territory jurisdiction.
-Greenspace and Hydrology 90% of well-defined features are within 1mm (at plot scale) of their true position, eg 1:500 equates to +/- 0.5metre and 1:25,000 equates to +/- 25 metres. Relative spatial accuracy of these themes reflects that of the jurisdictional source data. The accuracy is +/- 2 metres in urban areas and +/- 10 metres in rural and remote areas. No "shift" of data as a means of "cartographic enhancement" to facilitate presentation has been employed for any real world feature.
