Australian Coastal Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment with 28 Case Studies

A 2026 technical report from the National Seawater Intrusion Project, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It outlines a typological framework for categorizing coastal aquifers and assesses their vulnerability to seawater intrusion. The report includes conceptual models and tabulated aquifer parameters for 28 case study areas across Australia.

Use Cases

• Categorizing coastal aquifer types based on the developed typological framework.
• Assessing vulnerability to seawater intrusion using the tabulated hydrogeological parameters.
• Developing conceptual models for coastal groundwater systems based on the case study analyses.

Strengths

• Report is part of a national-scale project (the National Seawater Intrusion Project).
• Analysis includes 28 distinct case study areas (CSAs).
• Integrates both public and confidential information sources.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data files are in document formats (DOCX, PDF, HTML), not structured data formats.
