The Victorian Aquifer Framework (VAF) 3D Surface for the Quaternary Aquifer represents the mapped extent of this aquifer. The dataset is provided by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated on 2026-04-09. It is available in multiple geospatial file formats including SHP, GDB, and DXF.
Use Cases
- Map aquifer boundaries based on the mapped extent.
- Integrate aquifer geometry into 3D groundwater models based on the 3D surface.
- Analyze spatial relationships of the Quaternary Aquifer with other geological features.
- Perform GIS-based environmental assessments using the aquifer extent layer.
Strengths
- Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (EXTENDED TAB, MIF, SHP, GDB, DXF, TAB, DWG) for interoperability.
- Last updated date is precisely recorded (2026-04-09 03:57:16.776162).
- Dataset is part of a structured framework (Victorian Aquifer Framework) with a master metadata record.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
