Amadeus Basin Hydrogeological And Geological Inventory

Australia's Amadeus Basin dataset provides descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features. It groups data into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. The Australian Ocean Data Network compiled this inventory, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze groundwater management policies using the 'Groundwater management and use' theme attributes.
• Model hydrocarbon source rock distribution using thickness and lithology data for units like the Gillen Formation (850 m thick) and Horn Valley Siltstone.
• Correlate surface water features with underlying geology using combined 'Surface water' and 'Geology' theme data.
• Assess environmental and land use impacts on aquifers by integrating data from the 'Environment' and 'Land use and industry types' themes.

Strengths

• Describes geological units with specific thickness details, e.g., Inindia beds up to 2,000 m thick.
• Groups descriptive attributes into 11 structured themes including Hydrogeology and Groundwater.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable.
• Primary data format is PDF, limiting direct machine analysis.
