Description
A hydrogeological inventory for the Bonaparte Basin, a large sedimentary basin off north-west Australia. The dataset groups descriptive attributes into 11 themes, including geology, groundwater management, and land use, and is associated with a spatial groundwater feature index map. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on June 4, 2026.
Use Cases
Modeling groundwater flow based on described hydrogeological structures and stratigraphy.
Analyzing the relationship between surface water features and groundwater management areas.
Studying tectonic and depositional history from Paleozoic to Cenozoic periods as described in the geology theme.
Strengths
Data is organized into 11 distinct thematic groups for structured analysis.
Associated with a spatial groundwater feature index map for geospatial context.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on the Bonaparte Basin.
Provenance
Source
Australian Ocean Data Network
Collection Method
Likely compiled from geological surveys, borehole data, seismic interpretation, and field validation.
Time Range
Covers geological periods from the Paleozoic to Cenozoic.
