NESP TWQ 2.1.10: Alluvial Gully Rehabilitation Data for the Bowen Catchment, 2016-2017

Project 2.1.10 aims to reduce sediment supply from large alluvial gullies, the largest single source of suspended sediment loads into the Great Barrier Reef. The project developed partnerships with mining companies Glencore and Q Coal to adapt mine site rehabilitation techniques for gully rehabilitation in the Bowen Catchment. Data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-07-10.

Use Cases

• Assessing sediment source reduction strategies based on the described rehabilitation of alluvial gullies.
• Comparing mine site and grazing land rehabilitation approaches based on the project's central premise.
• Modeling sediment load impacts on the Great Barrier Reef based on the identified major sediment source.
• Evaluating public-private partnership frameworks for large-scale environmental works based on the described institutional strategy.

Strengths

• Project focuses on the largest single source of suspended sediment loads into the Great Barrier Reef.
• Description outlines a specific partnership with two major mining companies, Glencore and Q Coal.
• Data is associated with a defined project timeframe of 2016-2017 and a specific geography, the Bowen Catchment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Available file formats (PNG, HTML) suggest the dataset may consist of reports or images rather than structured tabular data.
