Groundwater monitoring data and management case studies for coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia. The dataset likely contains records of groundwater levels and quality to track the freshwater/saltwater interface. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling saltwater intrusion risk based on groundwater level and quality monitoring data mentioned in the description
- Evaluating the effectiveness of artificial recharge schemes described as a management option
- Analyzing the impact of agricultural development and water use restrictions on aquifer salinity
- Planning sustainable groundwater yields for coastal communities based on predictive model outputs
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific, documented environmental issue (saltwater intrusion) in Queensland.
- Describes a multi-faceted management approach including monitoring, modeling, and engineering works.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
