Daly Basin Hydrogeological Inventory for Groundwater Management

The Daly Basin in Australia contains descriptive attribute information for areas bounded by spatial groundwater features. The dataset groups topics into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-10.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow based on geological formation descriptions of the Daly River Group.
• Assess groundwater management strategies based on the themes of groundwater management and use.
• Analyze the relationship between surface water and groundwater based on the surface water theme.
• Study land use impacts on aquifer systems based on the land use and industry types theme.

Strengths

• Description includes specific geological details, such as the basin being 170 km long and 30 km wide.
• Thematic grouping covers 11 distinct areas including hydrogeology, groundwater, and environment.

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 as a PDF, which may hinder direct computational analysis.
