National Wetland Map3 (NWM) Unclassified Waterbodies
The National Wetlands Map III (NWM3) is a combination of NWM2 extracted from the National Land Cover 2000 dataset and the Waterbodies of the 1:50 000 of topomaps from Chief Directorate Surveys and Mapping (CDSM). These two datasets were further categorized into natural waterbodies, artificial waterbodies and unclassified waterbodies.
Although every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the data, SANBI do not take responsibility for errors or problems that arise for using this dataset.

- Purpose
-
Unclassified water bodies of National Wetland Map III (NWM3).Mapping the locality of wetlands is essential so that they may be classified into the different wetland ecosystem types across the country, which in turn can be used along with other data to identify wetlands of significance.
