Gippsland Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Descriptive Attributes

Gippsland Basin in Australia contains descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features, grouped into themes like location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset, provided by Geoscience Australia, describes the basin's geological history from the Late Jurassic to the present. It was last updated on 2026-04-30.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer properties based on described hydrogeological features.
• Analyze the relationship between geological structures and groundwater resources based on described fault systems and stratigraphy.
• Study land use and environmental impacts on groundwater based on the described thematic attributes.
• Correlate surface water features with subsurface geology based on the described physical geography and geology themes.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping covers 11 specific topics including geology, hydrogeology, and land use.
• Describes a geologically complex basin with a defined history spanning from the Late Jurassic to the present.
• Associated with a spatial Hydrogeology Index map, suggesting geospatial context.

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.
