Description
An 8,000 square kilometre sedimentary basin on the Western Australia-Northern Territory border is described in this hydrogeological inventory. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, groups descriptive attributes into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It details the basin's three synclines containing up to 2,500 metres of Cambrian and Devonian sedimentary rocks.
Use Cases
Mapping groundwater management zones based on hydrogeological and geological features.
Analyzing land use impacts on groundwater based on the described land use and industry types.
Studying sedimentary basin evolution based on the described depositional history and tectonic phases.
Strengths
Covers an 8,000 square kilometre geographic area.
Describes geological strata up to 2,500 metres thick.
Groups data into 11 thematic categories including hydrogeology and groundwater management.
Limitations
