Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources for Mid North Coast

A project from the Australian Ocean Data Network aims to improve groundwater management in coastal dune aquifers. It addresses increasing pressure from urbanisation and tourism on the Mid North Coast region. The data was last updated on 2026-06-04.

Use Cases

• Model seawater intrusion risk based on groundwater extraction rates mentioned in the description
• Assess sustainable yield for coastal communities based on described aquifer characteristics
• Evaluate ecosystem impacts based on described dependencies on shallow groundwater resources

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific geographic region: the Mid North Coast
• Addresses a concrete environmental issue: seawater intrusion from over-extraction
• Managed by an authoritative organization: Australian Ocean Data Network

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au
