Pedirka Basin Potentiometric Surface Contour 20m - PED

## **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.

Density corrected groundwater elevation contours for the Permian aquifers in the Pedirka Basin displayed at a 20 m interval.

## **Purpose** 

To describe the regional groundwater flow pattern within the Pedirka Basin.

## **Dataset History** 

Groundwater flow contours are based on density corrected water level measurements from groundwater wells and pressure readings from drill stem tests in exploration wells. Contours are reduced to relative Australian Height Datum (mAHD). Due to data paucity the line work was developed using digitised hand drawn contours. The potentiometric surface is published in the Pedirka Basin Hydrogeological Map (Sampson L, Wohling D, Fulton S, Jensen-Schmidt B and Keppel M, 2014, South Australia and Northern Territory Pedirka Basin Hydrogeological Map - Part 1 & Part 2.

Confined Great Artesian Basin Aquifer - PED

## **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.

It describes areas of Great Artesian Basin (JK) Aquifer to be interpreted as confined, minus a few outliers.

## **Purpose** 

To represent the confined areas of the Great Artesian Basin minus a few outliers, to aid in display clarity.

## **Dataset History** 

The original layer called SANT_Extent_Confined_Aquifer_june2012.shp was developed along with a number of data sets as part of the Australian Government funded research program entitled "Allocating Water and Maintaining Springs in the GAB". http://archive.nwc.gov.au/library/topic/groundwater/allocating-water-and-maintaining-springs-in-the-great-artesian-basin. A number of small "outliers" or zones of confined GAB groundwater condition separate from the main zone were removed from the original layer to aid clarity to the map by comparing the top of JK aquifer horizon (RL mAHD) to that of the potentiometric surface of groundwater for the same aquifer (RL mAHD). Where the two were equal, this was interpreted to be the boundary between unconfined and confined groundwater conditions within the JK Aquifer. The line displayed is smoothed to improve display. The specific datafiles used to develop this layer include:

Geology Polygon Dataset - PED

## **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 Surface Geology of Australia 1:1M scale dataset (2012 edition) is a seamless national coverage of outcrop and surficial geology, compiled for use at or around 1:1 million scale. The data maps outcropping bedrock geology and unconsolidated or poorly consolidated regolith material covering bedrock. Geological units are represented as polygon and line geometries, and are attributed with information regarding stratigraphic nomenclature and hierarchy, age, lithology, and primary data source. The dataset also contains geological contacts, structural features such as faults and shears, and miscellaneous supporting lines like the boundaries of water and ice bodies.

## **Purpose** 

The data is used to indicate the extent of outcropping bedrock geology and unconsolidated or poorly consolidated regolith material covering bedrock.

## **Dataset History** 

The 2012 dataset has been updated from the previous 2010 data by updating geological unit data to 2012 information in the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database (http://www.ga.gov.au/products-services/data-applications/reference-databases/stratigraphic-units.html), incorporating new published mapping in the Northern Territory and Queensland, and correcting errors or inconsistent data identified in the previous edition, particularly in the Phanerozoic geology of Western Australia. The attribute structure of the dataset has also been revised to be more compatible with the GeoSciML data standard, published by the IUGS Commission for Geoscience Information.  Original Geosciences Australia dataset name; GeologicalUnits_1m_Polys_PED.shp.

Vegetation Communities - PED

## **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.

A depiction of major vegetation communities.

## **Purpose** 

To depict major vegetation communities.

## **Dataset History** 

Dataset developed for the Lake Eyre Basin Bioregional Assessment: Context statement for the Arckaringa subregion. 

The following information has been taken from this website.

http://www.environment.gov.au/fed/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7Beade4b5f-6a30-46ae-86d8-58ed374ddc72%7D

The initial vegetation data was provided by over 100 individual projects representing the majority of Australia's regional vegetation mapping. State and Territory custodians translated the vegetation descriptions from these datasets into a common attribute framework, the National Vegetation Information System (ESCAVI, 2003). Scales of input mapping ranged from 1:25,000 to 1:5,000,000. These were combined into an Australia-wide set of vector data. Non-terrestrial areas were mostly removed by the State and Territory custodians before supplying the data to the Environmental Resources Information Network (ERIN), Department of Sustainability Environment Water Population and Communities (DSEWPaC).

Each NVIS vegetation description was written to the NVIS XML format file by the custodian, transferred to ERIN and loaded into the NVIS database at ERIN. A considerable number of quality checks were performed automatically by this system to ensure conformity to the NVIS attribute standards (ESCAVI, 2003) and consistency between levels of the NVIS Information Hierarchy within each description. Descriptions for non-vegetation and non-native vegetation mapping codes were transferred via CSV files.

The following website provides a detailed description of the Major Vegetation Groups.

http://www.anra.gov.au/topics/vegetation/pubs/native_vegetation/vegfsheet.html

Parts of New South Wales, South Australia, QLD and the ACT have extensive areas of vector "NoData", thus appearing as an inland sea. In the ACT and SA, the vector data was 'gap-filled' and attributed using satellite imagery as a guide prior to rasterising. Most of these areas comprised a mixture of MVG 24 (inland water) and 25 (cleared), and in some case 99 (Unknown). 

Each feature class was then rasterised to a 100m raster with extents to a multiple of 1000 m, to ensure alignment. State rasters were then merged into this 'Australia wide' raster dataset.

## **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 extent of Eromanga SANT shapefile is one of a number of data files developed as part of the Australian Government funded research program entitled "Allocating Water and Maintaining Springs in the GAB".

http://archive.nwc.gov.au/library/topic/groundwater/allocating-water-and-maintaining-springs-in-the-great-artesian-basin

## **Purpose** 

The data file is used to indicate the location and understood extent of the Eromanga Basin including the bulk of the Eromanga sedimentary package, except outliers and disconnected sediments.

## **Dataset History** 

Digital copies of seismic lines, around the western margins of the Eromanga Basin, were loaded into a Geoquest workstation for interpretation.   Due to the sparcity of lines, lack of suitable ties and large distances between data sets, picks were mostly done by eye.  These picks are simple and can be considered correct in the broad sense. Converting the two way time data from the Geoquest interpretation proved too erratic to be useful. Seismic time data was imported from Geoquest to Petrosys mapping system. In Petrosys, bore tops and outcrop elevations were gridded and contoured.  The resulting contour maps were examined for realism and consistency and anomalous tops and areas were reviewed.  This was an ongoing process. Geological trends from the seismic were incorporated, also known and inferred fault planes. An extensive series of edits and checks was undertaken until a satisfactory geological map was accomplished.  That is, the contours were geologically reasonable, matched all bore and other tie points, followed trends from seismic and merged with previous data based mapping logically and smoothly. This file was developed from analysing the extent interpretations developed for each hydrostratigraphic unit within the Pedirka Basin, as well as similar files developed for the overlying GAB.
