Bedrock Bore Free Air Gravity Data for Groundwater Analysis

Australian bedrock borehole data used to control Free Air gravity data interpolations. The dataset was compiled by GHD for the 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' report, part of the DEPI Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project. It was last updated on April 9, 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating Free Air gravity data interpolations based on borehole control points.
• Analyzing the potential influence of geological structures on groundwater flow systems.
• Informing water resource entitlement and allocation projects like the SAFE Project.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (TAB, MIF, SHP, GDB, etc.) for interoperability.
• Dataset has a clear purpose, compiled for a specific government report and project.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
