Abstract
Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the north Bowen Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used. The data package included with this data guide captures existing knowledge of near-surface groundwater resources in north Bowen Basin, including salinity, water levels, resource size and surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for the shallow groundwater in the north Bowen Basin are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptual models (Hostetler et al., 2023). Groundwater data for the north Bowen Basin are restricted to the upper 50 m, as a stratigraphic model is not available. Compiled data are assigned to this interval and used to characterise the near-surface groundwater system at the basin scale. The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on potential resource developments in the Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater. The data can also be used for other purposes, such as exploring unallocated groundwater resource potential. Data to January 2022 are used for this compilation.

Lineage
This package has been developed as part of the the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program (TEGI), and is providing better and more streamlined access to information and data for geological basins prospective for energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater and minerals. The program has identified and collated trusted baseline data and information for four prospective basin regions and supplement it with new geological and environmental assessments. This information will provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality trusted science available to make faster, clearer decisions and provide better outcomes for the environment and water resources.
