A hydrogeological inventory for the Wiso Basin in central Northern Territory, covering approximately 140,000 square kilometres. The dataset contains descriptive attribute information grouped into themes like location, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Map groundwater management zones based on the basin's hydrogeological features.
- Analyze stratigraphic sequences for geological research based on descriptions of Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian units.
- Study groundwater potential based on the basin's aquitard and aquifer descriptions.
- Assess land use impacts on groundwater based on the land use and industry theme.
- Model basin formation hypotheses based on the three proposed theories for the Lander Trough.
Strengths
- The basin covers a specific area of about 140,000 square kilometres.
- The description details a structured thematic grouping for attributes.
- The stratigraphic history is described with specific geological formations and time periods.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The data is provided as PDF files, which may limit direct computational analysis.
