Eromanga Basin Hydrogeological Inventory for the Great Artesian Basin

The Eromanga Basin dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network contains descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features in the Great Artesian Basin. It covers over 1,250,000 square kilometres in central and eastern Australia, with data grouped into themes like location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-16.

Use Cases

• Analyze groundwater management and use patterns based on administrative and land use themes.
• Model hydrogeological systems based on stratigraphic and geological attribute information.
• Study the relationship between surface water and groundwater based on the described physical geography.
• Investigate environmental impacts on groundwater based on the environment and land use themes.

Strengths

• Covers a vast spatial area of over 1,250,000 square kilometres.
• Descriptive topics are grouped into 11 distinct thematic categories.
• Provides detailed geological context including Jurassic to Cretaceous rock ages and three basin successions.

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.
