Daly Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological Formation Details

A hydrogeological inventory dataset for the Daly Basin in Australia, containing descriptive attribute information grouped into themes like location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset describes the Cambrian to Ordovician geological formation, which is approximately 541 to 470 million years old and stretches about 170 km by 30 km. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping groundwater management zones based on the hydrogeology and groundwater themes
• Analyzing the relationship between surface water features and geological formations described in the dataset
• Studying land use and industry types in the context of the basin's physical geography and groundwater resources

Strengths

• Description provides specific geological details, including the basin's dimensions of about 170 km by 30 km and its age range of 541 to 470 million years
• Data is structured into 11 distinct thematic groups, such as Hydrogeology and Groundwater management, suggesting organized metadata

Limitations

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