3.8.3 Mpumalanga Parks Board<br />
A <strong>wetland</strong> <strong>inventory</strong> is being compiled by the Mpumalanga Parks Board of all the <strong>wetland</strong>s in<br />
the Mpumalanga province (Figure 6 is a locality map of the UORC in relation to Mpumalanga<br />
and Gauteng). Floodplain <strong>wetland</strong>s, seepage <strong>wetland</strong>s and pans are distinguished in this<br />
layer. A large area of the UORC is included in the <strong>inventory</strong>. In addition a <strong>wetland</strong> layer for<br />
Gauteng is being compiled by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture, Conservation and<br />
Environment. The project is still progressing and it is not known when the <strong>wetland</strong> layer will<br />
be made available to the public. Different types of <strong>wetland</strong>s will be included in the layer.<br />
Unfortunately it is unlikely that the <strong>wetland</strong> layer will be available for use in this project.<br />
3.8.4 Wetland <strong>inventory</strong> (Palmer et al 2002)<br />

<strong>catchment</strong>, included in the UORC boundaries by DWAF, was not included in the study.<br />
