Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from the Sustainable Management of Coastal Groundwater Resources project. The project aims to improve groundwater management in coastal dune aquifers supplying water for communities in the Mid North Coast region. It addresses pressures from urbanisation and tourism, focusing on preventing over-extraction and seawater intrusion.
Use Cases
- Modeling sustainable groundwater yield based on aquifer characteristics mentioned in the description
- Assessing risks of seawater intrusion based on groundwater withdrawal data
- Planning urban development based on groundwater availability for coastal communities
- Monitoring ecosystem health based on shallow groundwater dependency
Strengths
- Project focuses on a specific geographic region: the Mid North Coast
- Addresses a concrete environmental issue: over-extraction leading to seawater intrusion
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
