Daly Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological Formation Details

A hydrogeological inventory for the Daly Basin, a geological formation stretching approximately 170 km in length and 30 km in width. The dataset contains descriptive attribute information grouped into themes like Location, Geology, Hydrogeology, and Groundwater management, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Map groundwater reservoir characteristics based on the described Cambrian Daly River Group units.
• Analyze the relationship between surface geology and groundwater based on the described geological formations and transitions.
• Assess land-use and environmental impacts on groundwater resources based on the described thematic groups.
• Study the stratigraphic sequence and depositional environments based on the detailed descriptions of the Tindall Limestone, Jinduckin Formation, and Oolloo Dolostone.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping covers 11 distinct areas including Hydrogeology, Groundwater management, and Land use.
• Provides detailed geological context, including the basin's dimensions of about 170 km by 30 km and its formation age of approximately 541 to 470 million years ago.
• Describes the specific stratigraphic units (Daly River Group, Florina Formation) that constitute the primary groundwater reservoir.

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 automated analysis.
