Wiso Basin Hydrogeological Inventory for Central Northern Territory

140,000 square kilometres of the Wiso Basin in the central Northern Territory are described in this hydrogeological inventory. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, groups descriptive attributes into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It was last updated on 2026-06-05.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer properties based on described stratigraphic units like the Montejinni Limestone and Lothari Hills Sandstone.
• Analyze the geological history and basin formation based on the described depositional sequences from Cambrian to Devonian periods.
• Assess land use and environmental impacts on groundwater resources based on the thematic attribute groupings.
• Correlate stratigraphy with neighboring basins like the Georgina and Daly basins based on the described geological context.

Strengths

• Covers a defined area of approximately 140,000 square kilometres.
• Attributes are organized into 11 specific thematic groups, including hydrogeology and groundwater management.
• Provides detailed geological context, including the basin's structure and the stratigraphy of the Lander Trough.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may complicate automated analysis.
