Description
140,000 square kilometers of the Wiso Basin in Australia's Northern Territory are documented in this hydrogeological inventory. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, groups descriptive attributes into themes like geology, groundwater, and land use. Its last update was recorded on 2026-05-04.
Use Cases
Model groundwater flow and aquifer properties based on described stratigraphic units like the Montejinni Limestone and Lake Surprise Sandstone.
Analyze the relationship between surface geology and groundwater resources based on the described physical geography and geology themes.
Support land-use planning and environmental impact assessments based on grouped information about environment, land use, and industry types.
Investigate basin formation hypotheses for the Lander Trough based on the described structural geology and depositional history.
Strengths
Covers a large, defined geographic area of approximately 140,000 square kilometers.
Attributes are organized into 11 specific thematic groups, including hydrogeology and groundwater management.
Provides detailed stratigraphic context, describing units from the Cambrian to Devonian periods.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data is provided as a PDF, which may require extraction and structuring for computational analysis.
