The SAIIAE offers a collection of data layers pertaining to ecosystem types and pressures for both rivers and inland wetlands. The SAIIAE builds on previous efforts while also introducing improvements and several new elements. An inventory of inland aquatic ecosystems responds to a multi-stakeholder need for the planning, conservation and management of these systems, as mandated by a number of legislative Acts, including the South African National Water Act (NWA) and the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA). This report provides a full overview of historical efforts in the inventorying of inland aquatic ecosystems, as well as efforts undertaken between 2015 and 2018 in the update of data layers associated with river and inland wetland ecosystem types for the NBA 2018. This file was obtained by Heidi van Deventer from Johan Maritz at the Built Environment Unit of the CSIR end of July 2016. Please contact Johan Maritz for more information. He created this file end of 2015.
