Great Artesian Basin and Laura Basin groundwater recharge areas  


Authors / CoAuthors

Abstract

Areas of groundwater intake beds for the Great Artesian Basin, including regionally variable local recharge in some places. Data is available as polygons in Shapefile format. This GIS data set was produced for the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment and used in: Figures 2.2 and 5.29 of Ransley TR and Smerdon BD (eds) (2012) Hydrostratigraphy, hydrogeology and system conceptualisation of the Great Artesian Basin. A technical report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment. CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, Australia. Figure 1.4 in Smerdon BD, Ransley TR, Radke BM and Kellett JR (2012) Water resource assessment for the Great Artesian Basin. A report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment. CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, Australia. This dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 75842.
