Descriptive attribute information for areas bounded by spatial groundwater features in the Galilee Basin Hydrogeology Index map. The dataset groups topics into themes including Location, Demographics, Geology, Hydrogeology, and Groundwater Management. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-16.
Use Cases
- Identify groundwater management zones based on administrative and location attributes.
- Analyze aquifer potential based on descriptions of the Clematis Group, Permian coal measures, and Joe Joe Group.
- Assess groundwater extraction impacts based on data on land use and industry types.
- Model regional groundwater flow using information on confining units like the Moolayember and Rewan Formations.
Strengths
- Thematic grouping covers 11 distinct topics including Hydrogeology, Groundwater Management, and Environment.
- Describes three main groundwater systems and four primary confining formations in detail.
- Focuses on a specific geological basin with a described history spanning approximately 90 million years.
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 hinder direct computational analysis.
