Eucla Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with 11 Thematic Groups

The Eucla Basin hydrogeological inventory from the Australian Ocean Data Network provides descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features. It covers an area of approximately 1,150,000 square kilometres along Australia's southern margin and groups data into 11 themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-10.

Use Cases

• Map groundwater management zones based on administrative and hydrogeological boundaries.
• Analyze the relationship between surface water features and groundwater systems.
• Study Cenozoic sediment deposition and karstification processes based on described geological units and history.
• Model land use impacts on groundwater resources within the basin.
• Correlate physical geography and demographic data with groundwater use patterns.

Strengths

• Covers an extensive area of approximately 1,150,000 square kilometres.
• Groups descriptive information into 11 specific thematic categories.
• Describes a consistent sedimentary succession and detailed geological history.

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.
