Gippsland Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological and Management Attributes

A geospatial dataset from Geoscience Australia containing 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, land use, and scientific stimulus. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer characteristics based on the described hydrogeological and geological attributes.
• Analyze the relationship between land use, industry types, and groundwater management practices.
• Study the stratigraphic evolution of the basin based on the described Late Jurassic to Holocene sedimentary groups.
• Correlate surface water features with groundwater compartments defined by the described major fault systems.

Strengths

• Data is structured around 11 specific thematic groups, including geology, hydrogeology, and groundwater management.
• Describes a geologically complex basin with a defined history from the Late Jurassic to the present day.
• Sourced from Geoscience Australia, a national geological survey organization.

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.
