Murray Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological Evolution Themes

A Murray Basin dataset contains descriptive attribute information grouped into themes like Location, Geology, Hydrogeology, and Groundwater management. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this inventory, which was last updated on April 16, 2026. The description details the basin's geological evolution from the Paleocene to the Holocene, including sediment thicknesses up to 600 meters.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and availability based on hydrogeology and groundwater management themes
• Analyze the relationship between land use and groundwater quality based on land use and industry types themes
• Study sedimentary basin evolution and depositional phases based on detailed geological chronology
• Assess environmental impacts on groundwater systems based on environment and surface water themes

Strengths

• Description includes specific geological time periods (Paleocene to Holocene) and depositional phases
• Provides concrete sediment thickness figures, such as a maximum of 600 meters in the Renmark Trough
• Attribute information is organized into 11 distinct thematic groups for structured analysis

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
