Reservoirs

This data focuses on the spatial arrangement and characteristics of managed water-control systems, distinguishing these engineered basins from the natural aquatic ecosystems typical of Tasmania's vast, protected wilderness.
Capes
A cape is a prominent projection of land extending into a sea, ocean, lake, or other large water body and altering the surrounding shoreline direction. Its form may reflect resistant rock, erosion, sediment deposition, uplift, or broader coastal structure. The term describes geographic prominence and does not by itself establish cliffs, a lighthouse, a navigation role, or formal boundaries distinct from a headland.
Islands
An island is a discrete area of land completely surrounded by water, occurring in oceans, lakes, rivers, wetlands, or reservoirs. Islands can originate through volcanism, tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment deposition, reef growth, glacial processes, or the isolation of former mainland terrain. The category spans very different scales and does not by itself establish remoteness, habitation, geology, or ecological uniqueness.
