This wetlands dataset has its origins in the Wetlands of National Importance (WONI) project, which was part of the Sustainable Development Programme of Actions for Freshwaters which had the goal of identifying a list of water bodies that would protect a full range of freshwater biodiversity.
The pre-human extent of wetlands was produced using soil information from the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) and a 15m digital elevation model (DEM) to refine soil boundaries. Current wetlands were defined by combining existing databases including LCDB2 (Land Cover Database version 2), NZMS 260 Topomaps, existing surveys from Regional Councils, Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) covenant wetland polygons, DOC surveys (WERI database), and the 15m DEM, to define a single set of wetland polygons and centre points. All this data was checked against a standardised set of Landsat imagery using the Ecosat technology and where necessary new wetland boundaries delineated.

Wetlands were classified into 7 groups at the hydro-class level using fuzzy expert rules.
