These grids represent the potentiometric surface of the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer in the Great Artesian Basin at 20 year intervals from 1900-2010. They were interpolated from GAB water table elevations and from observations of hydraulic head obtained from state groundwater databases. Head measurements were density corrected prior to creation of surfaces. Where there were no temperatures supplied with the head measurement to allow correction, temperature was interpolated from dataset 'Great Artesian Basin groundwater temperature' (Geoscience Australia dataset, Catalogue No. 76929, available from http://www.ga.gov.au).The grid surfaces 1900-1920, ?, 2000-2010 account for the possible effects of geological faults on groundwater flow in the GAB. Grids 1900-1920_nf and 2000-2010_nf are without the influence of regional tectonic faulting. Null values assigned as 1.000000e+30. Grid cell size (X, Y) = 5000 m, 5000 m.

The revised Great Artesian Basin Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary was produced by the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment (GABWRA) . This boundary is modified from that of Habermehl and Lau 1997 and incorporates the revised boundary from the South Australia Great Artesian Basin (Eromanga Basin) Hydrogeological map 2012. Modifications made to sections of this boundary as part of the GABWRA include major revisions to the Surat and Clarence-Moreton Basins boundary; southern part of the Coonamble Embayment; NW Queensland boundary within the Lawn Hill and Westmoreland 1:250K map sheet areas. The dataset includes boundaries of basement inliers within the GAB Note: Habermehl and Lau 1997 boundary included Triassic GAB formations in Queensland which were not considered by the GABWRA. Data is available in polygon format. REFERENCE: Ransley TR and Smerdon BD (eds) (2012) Hydrostratigraphy, hydrogeology and system conceptualisation of the Great Artesian Basin.

Modelled groundwater levels from 2010 to 2070 used to estimate the impact of climate change and future groundwater resource development on groundwater levels in the GAB. The modelling considered different scenarios of climate and groundwater development: Scenario A (historical climate and current development); Scenario C (future climate and current development) and Scenario D (future climate and future development). The future climate scenarios included the wet extreme (wet), the median (mid) and the dry extreme (dry). The raster grids "Cdry.grd"", "Cmid.grd" and "Cwet.grd" show predicted hydraulic head for the year 2070 based on projections of future climate and the continuation of current rates of groundwater extraction The files "Cdry-Base.grd", "Cmid-Base.grd" and ""Cwet-Base.grd" represent predicted differences between the hydraulic heads produced by Scenario C at 2070, and the modelled spatial distributions of hydraulic head for the year 2010 (Base scenario). The files "Cdry-A.grd", "Cmid-A.grd" and "Cwet-A.grd" represent predicted differences between hydraulic heads for 2070 produced by Scenario C and the current climate and development scenario (Scenario A).

Modelled groundwater levels from 2010 to 2070 used to estimate the impact of climate change and future groundwater resource development on groundwater levels in the Cape York area of the GAB. The modelling considered different scenarios of climate and groundwater development: Scenario A (historical climate and current development); Scenario C (future climate and current development) and Scenario D (future climate and future development). The future climate scenarios included the wet extreme (wet), the median (mid) and the dry extreme (dry). This data set contains spatial data that were created from the outputs from climate change scenario models using on the Cape York groundwater flow model. The subfolder "heads" contains various raster grid representations of spatial distributions of hydraulic head for the year 2070 that were output by the respective climate change scenario model, based on projections of future climate. For each climate change scenario there are three outputs: one for each modelled aquifer thickness (100, 150 and 200metres). The folder "differences" contains various raster grid representations of differences between the spatial distributions of hydraulic head that were output by climate change scenario models and by either (a) the respective "A scenario" model or (b) the respective "Base scenario" model (the modelled hydraulic head for the year 2010.) 'No data' value is 1e30 for heads rasters, -9999 for differences rasters Cell size is 5000 m x 5000 m This data and metadata were produced by CSIRO for the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment.
