Abstract
<div>This data package contains the main hydrogeological datasets compiled, analysed, developed, and used for the Geoscience Australia project that investigated the Cenozoic geology, hydrogeology, and groundwater systems of the Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre Basin in central Australia.

Purpose
This data package provides access for external stakeholders to the key hydrogeological datasets that were developed and used in the study of the Cenozoic geology, hydrogeology, and groundwater systems of the Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre Basin (Evans et al. 2024). Most of the datasets are based on analysis and processing of existing groundwater bore data obtained from a variety of jurisdictional and academic sources.

Lineage
<div>The datasets within this data product are mostly derived through geospatial analysis and processing of pre-existing primary data sources. For example, the various datasets associated with groundwater bores were obtained from available sources of bore data, such as the respective state and territory groundwater bore databases. These are supplemented in some cases by bore data from other groundwater investigations, such as those of Cendon et al. (2010) and the Geological and Bioregional Assessment program (2021). Existing datasets were compiled and integrated with other data using ArcGIS software for purposes of analysis and interpretation of hydrogeological and related groundwater features.
