A technical report from the National Seawater Intrusion Project assessing the vulnerability of Australian coastal aquifers to seawater intrusion. The report, authored by Geoscience Australia, develops a typological framework and includes conceptual models and tabulated aquifer parameters for 28 case study areas. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Use Cases
- Categorizing coastal aquifers 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.
- Informing national-scale water resource management and policy based on the vulnerability assessment.
Strengths
- Provides a national-scale assessment of Australian coastal aquifers.
- Includes detailed analysis and parameters for 28 specific case study areas.
- Develops a structured typological framework for categorizing aquifers.
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), which may require extraction for computational analysis.
