Murray Basin Hydrogeology with Geological and Groundwater Attributes

A Murray Basin dataset contains descriptive attribute information for areas bounded by spatial groundwater features. The data is grouped into themes including location, demographics, physical geography, surface water, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-06-05.

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 sedimentary basin evolution and depositional phases based on the described geological formations and their thicknesses.
• Assess environmental impacts on groundwater based on surface water and environmental attribute data.

Strengths

• Data is organized into 11 descriptive themes, including hydrogeology, geology, and groundwater management.
• Description provides specific geological detail, including sediment thicknesses up to 600 meters in the Renmark Trough.
• Associated with a spatial Hydrogeology Index map, indicating 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 complicate automated analysis.
