Amadeus Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological Unit Attributes

The Amadeus Basin in central Australia contains descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features. The dataset groups topics into themes including location, demographics, physical geography, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze groundwater management and use based on the hydrogeology and groundwater themes.
• Study geological formations and hydrocarbon potential based on described units like the Gillen and Horn Valley Siltstone.
• Assess land use and industry types based on the environmental and land use themes.
• Map surface water and physical geography relationships based on the grouped descriptive topics.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping covers 11 topics including geology, hydrogeology, and land use.
• Description details specific geological formations with thicknesses up to 14,000 meters.
• Spatial data is associated with a Hydrogeology Index map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may complicate structured analysis.
