Surface Geology - 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 surface geology within the Pedirka Subregion.

Northern Territory Great Artesian Basin Waterbodies - 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.

This spatial dataset, surveyed at a scale of 1:1000000, provides polygon information on the Great Artesian Basin aquifer, referred to as the J aquifer, within the Northern Territory. The map depicts the elevation and thickness of the J aquifer, in addition to groundwater elevation, flow direction and the spatial extent of artesian conditions.

## **Purpose** 

The purpose of the survey was to map and describe water resource information for planning and management.

## **Dataset History** 

In most probability this layer has been sourced through the Northern Territory Government, Spatial Data and Mapping, Water Resources Division www.ntlis.nt.gov.au., as follows; The aquifer extent, depth and thickness were derived from geology maps, topographic maps, processed seismic surveys, and point data from groundwater, mineral and petroleum exploration holes. Formation and groundwater depth data was converted to elevation using the SRTM 1 Second DEM-Sv1.0. The hydrology information was interpreted from standing water level measurements, flows from springs, chemical analysis of groundwater samples and surveys of outcrops of recharge beds. The map unit boundaries polygons were digitised by rectifying original hard copy base map use in the raster and hydrology interpretations using Bentley MicroStation Design (V7) software. FME Workbench script was then used to convert the unit boundary polygons from MicroStation Design to ESRI Shape with only the Level Names.

Great Artesian Basin (JK aquifer) Extent of Saturation - 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.

Areas of the Great Artesian Basin (JK) Aquifer interpreted to be dry/not dry (unsaturated/saturated).

## **Purpose** 

To indicate the boundary between saturated and unsaturated groundwater conditions within the JK Aquifer.

## **Dataset History** 

This file was developed along with a number of other data sets as part of the Australian Government funded research program entitled "Allocating Water and Maintaining Springs in the GAB". SANT_Extent_Saturated_Aquifer_LDA_june2012.shp

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

By comparing the bottom of JK aquifer horizon (RL mAHD) to that of the uncorrected potentiometric surface of groundwater for the same aquifer (RL mAHD) and where the two were equal, this was interpreted to be the boundary between saturated and unsaturated groundwater conditions within the JK Aquifer. Where the potentiometric surface was found to be more elevated than the base of the JK aquifer, this was included in areas considered to be saturated, whereas areas where the potentiometric surface was found to be lower than the base of the JK aquifer were interpreted to be areas of unsaturated (dry) aquifer. The specific datafiles used to develop this layer include:

Indigenous Protected Areas - SA - 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.

This dataset details the declared Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA) across South Australia through the implementation of the Indigenous Protected Areas Programme. The IPA Programme is part of the National Reserve System (NRS) Programme which aims to establish a network of protected areas which include a representative sample of all types of ecosystems across the country. Through this program, Indigenous landowners are being supported to manage their lands for the protection of natural and cultural features in accordance with internationally recognised standards and guidelines for the benefit of all Australians. The IPA Programme and NRS Programme are part of the Australian Government's Natural Heritage Trust. More information can be found from the following website; http://www.deh.gov.au/indigenous/ipa

## **Purpose** 

This dataset can be used to show the locations of Indigenous Protected Areas for conservation purposes.

## **Dataset History** 

Through the IPA Programme, as new declarations are made ERIN has continued to produce spatial boundaries of all IPA's. In 2006 ERIN updated the IPA datasets to comply with the Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) as IPA's are included in CAPAD. This included modification of the spatial data to remove discrepancies as well as an attribute review for accuracy and completeness. This was undertaken through expert advice from the IPA Programme staff. Yalata, Mt Willoughby and Nantawarrina Protected Areas are based on the DCDB. The others are unknown.

Mean residual water level error - Gippsland 2010

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition. 



The spatial distributions of residual water level errors are presented for 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010.  The mean residual water level is defined such that negative numbers refer to points where predicted groundwater head values are higher than observed and positive values indicate that predicted groundwater head values are lower than observed.



The dataset was generated in the Gippsland Groundwater Model (Beverly et al 2015). The 2010 residual error reflects the difference between the simulated and the measured water level surfaces at groundwater monitoring bores across all aquifers

## **Purpose** 

The purpose of the residual error data layer is to provide an indication of the modelled groundwater level surfaces performance relative measured groundwater level data as of 2010.



"Results .. suggest that the model over predicts the heads in the outcropped regions and under predicts the heads in the lower parts of the landscape.  The greatest errors are shown to be in the outcropping regions ....suggesting that the model attribution associated with model layer 23 requires further analysis.  This is consistent with observations reported .....that considered the hydraulic conductivities attributed to zones 23-29 were on the lower bounds of previously reported values." 

Extract from the Gippsland groundwater model technical report (Beverly et al, 2015)

## **Dataset History** 

Measured groundwater level sourced from the Victorian groundwater database and reported as metres above sea level. The 2010 simulated water level sourced from the Gippsland Groundwater Model (Beverly et al 2015). Calculation made by Measured minus Simulated.
