The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

Description of FreeGs: a web-enabled database of thermodynamic properties hosted at Geoscience Australia.

Shows point location of large reservoirs in Australia owned by a public authority. Attribute information includes: -name of the dam wall and associated water body -name of the stream on which it is located -storage capacity and surface area of the water body -ownership -construction details of the dam wall. Data is captured from 1:1 million scale source material. Data is suitable for use in GIS applications. Product Specifications Coverage: Australia Currency: August 1990 Coordinates: Geographical Datum: AGD66 Format: ArcInfo Export, ArcView Shapefile and MapInfo mid/mif Medium: Free online and CD-ROM (fee applies)

Hermannsburg Mission Station is situated 80 miles west of Alice Springs. In the winter of 1951, Pastor Albrecht, the Superintendent of the Mission, made a request for government assistance in the location of underground water supplies. Early in October, G.F. Joklik and S.A. Tomich, of the Bureau of Mineral Resources, spent five days on the station and picked seven sites for possible water bores. Throughout this report, reference is made to the accompanying map.

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 73 Tasmanian coastal waterways. The classification system contains 12 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Bedrock, Central Basin, Channel, Coral, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. The majority of near pristine estuaries in Tasmania are located in the south and west of the State and on Cape Barren Island, according to the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment.

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 63 Northern Territory coastal waterways. This version of the dataset includes 48 newly mapped estuaries, classified as 'Near pristine'. The classification system contains 12 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Bedrock, Central Basin, Channel, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Estuaries on the northern Arnhem Land, Gulf of Carpentaria coasts are predominantly tide-dominated estuaries, which vary greatly in size and floodplain characteristics.

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 103 Western Australia coastal waterways. The classification system contains 11 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Central basin, Channel, Coral, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Western Australia has a diverse range of Estuaries due to different climates. Ranging from mostly "near pristine" and tide influenced estuaries in the north to "near pristine" wave dominated estuaries in the southwest region.

This report presents the results of a study by Geoscience Australia of Stokes Inlet and Wellstead Estuary, located in southwestern Western Australia, based on data collected during surveys in March 2006 and May 2007. It includes the present day rates of organic matter breakdown in the sediments of these estuaries, sediment and porewater properties, sedimentation rates, and an account of the historical environmental changes to these estuaries based on the sediment record. In the report you will find: 1. Purpose and background 2. Environmental Setting 3. Methods 4. Benthic Chambers 5. Sediment Cores and Grabs 6. Results and Discussions 7. Environmental conditions during the survey 8. Present-day nutrient dynamics in Stokes Inlet 9. Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction 10. Key conclusions

On 10th November, 1952 a brief visit was made to Channel Island with Mr. F. Vidgen, Director of Works, to investigate the possibilities of developing an underground water supply for the leprosarium. It appears unlikely that a good supply of underground water will be obtained on the island, and this is probably due to the fact that it offers too small a catchment area and the beds are not particularly favourable to allow for the accumulation of good supplies of underground water.
