AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Australian Average Annual Wetness Index

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the BOM supplied Average Annual Rainfall data for the period 1961-1990 and BOM supplied Areal Potential Evapotranspiration data for the same period, 1961-1990. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



The wetness index is the ratio between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (rainfall / potential evapotranspiration). An index of 1 indicates areas where rainfall and evapotranspiration are equal. Index above 1 indicates a wet are where rainfall exceeds evapotranspiration and below 1 indicates a dry area where evapotransipiration is potentially greater than the rainfall for that area.

## **Dataset History** 

This dataset was created using the raster calculator tool in ArcMap with the following calculation:

Wetness Index = \[rainfall\] / \[potential evapotranspiration\]. 



The rainfall input was the BOM supplied Average Annual Rainfall data for the period 1961-1990 and the potential evapotranspiration input was the BOM supplied Areal Potential Evapotranspiration data for the same period, 1961-1990.

Woomera Prohibited Area - 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.

This dataset contains the outer boundary of the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA), its internal access management zones and the boundary of the Woomera Village Standing Permission Area. The WPA outer boundary is as defined in the Commonwealth Government Gazette number GN 26 dated 12 July 1989 and further depicted on plan number GP 249/1989 deposited in the SA General Registry Office. The internal zones were originally depicted in the Review of the Woomera Prohibited Area - Final Report dated 4 February 2011 prepared by Dr Allan Hawke AC. The final delineation of detailed zone boundaries has been created following intensive consultation with the Department of Defence, and defines areas with differing access restrictions. An associated map, Department of State Development (DSD) plan number 204192-001, has also been prepared that describes in detail the characteristics of each boundary segment and depicts the Woomera Village Standing Permission Area. Plan GP 249/1989 can be accessed from the SA Government's Integrated Land Information System (SAILIS) at: https://www.sailis.sa.gov.au/products/order/planImageSearch/G249_-1989. Plan 204192-001, as amended from time to time, can be accessed from DSD's online plans database at: https://sarigbasis.pir.sa.gov.au/WebtopEw/ws/plans/sarig1/image/DDD/204192-001. In September 2014, two significant updates were made to this dataset: - a Standing Permission Area was created to alleviate restrictions that inadvertently applied to the Woomera township and the Olympic Dam Highway; - Section 400 Out of Hundreds (the former Maralinga village and nuclear test site) was excised.

## **Purpose** 

Military use, mineral exploration and production, land access.

## **Dataset History** 

The boundaries have been constructed from a variety of source data inputs and numerous geometric techniques have been used. The best available digital GIS datasets have been used to construct each individual boundary segment. Data sources include the parcel layer of SA's Digital Cadastral Database (DPTI), railway lines from Geoscience Australia's 250k mapping, heads-up digitisation from aerial imagery, tracks from 1:50K topographic mapping (DEWNR), pastoral lease fencelines (DEWNR), power transmission lines (ElectraNet) and mineral tenement boundaries (DSD). Rigorous GIS techniques were used throughout. These were augmented by the use of interpolation (densification) with the gnomonic map projection to accurately depict geodesics and Vincenty's formulae direct method for bearing and distance calculations.

Phreatic Standing Water Level Contours at 10m Intervals - 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.

Points at 10m intervals of the SWL depths to the phreatic groundwater zone.

## **Purpose** 

To represent SWL depths to the phreatic groundwater zone at 10m intervals.

## **Dataset History** 

All drillholes with recorded construction information, water cut and static water level (SWL) information within the study area were extracted from the South Australian Government Geological database SAGeodata.

As a first pass, the first water cut was compared to the SWL  if the SWL was lower than the first water cut, the SWL was accepted. If the SWL was more elevated than the first water cut, further analysis was undertaken.

Further analysis involved reviewing the construction details of the well. If either a) the top of the well screen was more elevated than the SWL, b) the well screen included the first water cut or c) the well was open, the SWL was accepted as phreatic. However, if a) the well was artesian b) the screen did not cover the first water cut interval or b) no construction information was available, the well was rejected.

Finally, in order to both ensure adequate well coverage and to limit the amount of work undertaken, phreatic surfaces that included SWL that appeared slightly sub artesian were calculated and compared. In areas of adequate well coverage, minimal difference was not between wells where there was a 1, 5 and 10m sub-artesian difference between the first water cut and the SWL. Consequently, a margin of error of +10m was allowed for wells with SWLs more elevated than the recorded water cut.

You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This point shapefile dataset includes only those groundwater monitoring bores completed in aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin, as supplied by Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines 2008.

## **Purpose** 

Spatial representation of tabular bore data presented by QLD DNRM.

## **Dataset History** 

Data supplied as an excel spreadsheet by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines in 2008. Point shapefile was derived from the original spreadsheet based on coordinate attributes.



Queensland groundwater monitoring data, both water level and water quality, is stored within the Groundwater Database (GWDB) system. The new system is based on web technology and is available through the department's intranet. Allocation and use data is obtained through the Water Entitlements Registration Database (WERD) which is an electronic database for water license details. Both databases are managed locally at district level, with respect to the collection and entering of water monitoring, allocation and use data; and are accessed statewide.
