Rehabilitated Wetlands 2012 (Working_for_Wetalnds_rehab_wetlands )
This layer maps the location of wetlands rehabilitated within the working for wetlands programme. THE WORKING for WETLANDS PROGRAMME is a partnership approach to the rehabilitation, protection and sustainable use of wetlands. The delineations were based largely on desktop delineations prepared by the planning teams for rehab. Some of the wetlands were mapped on Google Earth and other field delineated by EAP`s and provincial coordinators. The data is captured in vector format. Wetland boundaries collated from desktop mapping done by wetland specialists using aerial imagery of various resolutions, 10m interval contour data and background knowledge from their site visits for the purpose of wetland assessments over the 4 years of planning. The attribute data was collected from rehabilitation plans document and checked and confirmed by the provincial coordinators.

Wetland boundaries collated from desktop mapping done by wetland
specialists using aerial imagery of various resolutions, 10m interval contour data and background knowledge from their site visits for the purpose of wetland assessments over the 4 years of planning. The planning is done per province by a wetland specialist, working for wetlands provincial coordinator and an engineer. The attribute data was collated from rehabilitation plans report for each wetland and then verified with provincial coordinator. The rehabilitation plans are available from provincial co-ordinators relevant for each project.
