Gippsland Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological and Management Attributes

A geospatial dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network provides descriptive attribute information for groundwater features in the Gippsland Basin. The data is grouped into themes including location, demographics, physical geography, surface water, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, environment, land use, and scientific stimulus. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-16.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer characteristics based on the described hydrogeology and geology themes.
• Analyze the relationship between land use, industry types, and groundwater management practices.
• Study the basin's tectonic and stratigraphic evolution based on the described geological history and stratigraphic groups.
• Assess environmental impacts and surface water interactions using the environment and surface water descriptive topics.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping covers 11 distinct areas from geology to land use, suggesting detailed attribute coverage.
• Dataset is associated with a spatial groundwater feature map, implying geospatial context.
• Description provides specific geological context, including four main stratigraphic groups and tectonic evolution phases.

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 direct computational analysis.
