Billa Kalina Work Plan - ARC

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

The lines in this layer represent the possible direction of groundwater flow in two stratigraphic formations; Mount Toondina Formation and Boorthanna Formation. Flow is inferred to occur from areas interpreted to be zones of recharge, toward zones of discharge.  Including Zone of Discharge and Zone of Recharge only.

## **Purpose** 

To understand the possible direction of groundwater flow within the Arckaringa Basin.  Including Zone of Discharge and Zone of Recharge only.

## **Dataset History** 

This line layer is based on available data and historical interpretation; Wohling Et al. (2013) and are primarily estimated by interpreting the potentiometric surfaces. Additional sources of data that fed into the development of these lines include the Zones of Recharge and Zones of Discharge presented in the Hydro_elements.shp. Ideally, both shape files should be viewed together. Including Zone of Discharge and Zone of Recharge only.

GAL Hydrochemistry Formations QC for TDS v01

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme.The parent datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



This dataset is a filtered spatial representation of hydrochemistry bore information in the Galilee and Eromanga Basins, with a particular focus on total dissolved solids (TDS) as an indication of water quality.

## **Purpose** 

This dataset was created to provide TDS data for use in the Groundwater Quality section of the Galilee Current Water Accounts and Water Quality report.

## **Dataset History** 

A quality assurance process was conducted on the source groundwater bore dataset to prevent the inclusion of anomalously high TDS values.



Hydrochemistry data for bores in the subregion were extracted from the Queensland hydrochemistry database. A charge balance was then performed for all samples, and samples with a charge balance greater than +/- 10% were removed from the dataset.

Namoi Inflow and outflows for storages and selected gauges

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata were supplied to the Bioregional Assessments Programme by the NSW Office of Water and is presented here as originally supplied. The dataset includes monthly streamflow (in ML) time series that flow into and out of the Namoi subregion. Some of these are inflows and outflows to dams and others are  gauging stations situated along several streams within the subregion. 



Gaps in data records



Gaps in data records are more to occur likely during extreme events, particularly for gauging stations, where the data is automatically audited and potentially erroneous data is prevented from being displayed (Unreported data).



Data validation



The Office of Water is endeavouring to validate data as quickly as possible. Our performance indicator aims for data to be validated is within 100 days.

 

With respect to use of data:



Unvalidated data (Quality Code 130) has not been rigorously assessed and the data is quality coded to indentify this. These data should by used with care as they may change after validation. These data should only be used by persons who are familiar with the characteristics of streamflow information.

Validated data are data that has been assessed and is the best available quality at the time, however the data should always be interpreted taking into account the quality codes that have been applied.



Hydrologic advice should be sought to assist with any interpretation.



For tables and codes refer to: http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/

## **Purpose** 

To compute water accounts for the subregion.

Namoi NSW Office of Water groundwater EC (sampled post 1970)

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



The aim of this data set was to be able to map the salinity (EC) of groundwater bores in the Namoi sub-region.

This has been clipped to the Namoi sub-region but not the Namoi PAE. The data set was clipped to post-1970 to avoid potentially imprecise values. 



The data set is an extract of all groundwater quality measurements from groundwater bores that fell within the data management acquisition area as provided by BA to NSW Office of Water. The salinity (EC) was categorised according to the groundwater use categories and aggregated into the following categories: 'Drinking' (up to 1500 uS/cm), 'irrigation' (1500 uS/cm - 7999 uS/cm), 'livestock' (8000 uS/cm - 19999 uS/cm) and '>20,000 uS/cm'.

## **Purpose** 

This data set was derived to complete the water quality section of Product 1.5 for the Namoi Bioregional Assessment

## **Dataset History** 

The data set is an extract of all groundwater quality measurements from groundwater bores that fell within the data management acquisition area as provided by BA to NSW Office of Water.



This has been clipped to the Namoi sub-region but not the Namoi PAE. Data (EC) pre-1970 was deleted from the original data set to avoid potentially imprecise values. 



The salinity (EC) was categorised according to the groundwater use categories and aggregated into the following categories: 'Drinking' (up to 1500 uS/cm), 'irrigation' (1500 uS/cm - 7999 uS/cm), 'livestock' (8000 uS/cm - 19999 uS/cm) and '>20,000 uS/cm'.

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the Namoi water quality dataset. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



This is a subset of the Namoi water quality data provided by the NSW Office of Water, clipped to the Namoi subregion.



The NSW Office of Water (NoW) provided water quality data for the Namoi region. The data includes continuously monitored sites and discrete monitored sites. Sites with a GW prefix represent groundwater sites. Groundwater sites can be linked to their locational information through the NSW NGIS (provided by the Bureau of Meteorology).



Refer to the source data for more information.

## **Purpose** 

This data was used to develop the NAM 1.5 product.

## **Dataset History** 

The source data was the groundwater quality information from the NSW Office of Water. Data outside of the Namoi subregion was deleted and the data then clipped to only show results post-1970 for data quality purposes. Only the most recent measurement from each bore was used. The data was categorised according to groundwater salinity (EC) from the ANZECC water quality guidelines.
