Galilee Basin region: Lake Eyre Basin groundwater package

Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the Galilee 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 Lake Eyre Basin aquifers in the Galilee Basin region and their properties, including salinity, water levels, resource size, potential aquifer yield and indicators of surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for the Lake Eyre Basin aquifer in the Galilee Basin region are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptualisation models (Hostetler et al., 2023).

The Lake Eyre Basin overlying the Galilee Basin includes one broadly defined aquifer that includes multiple aquifer systems that are defined as Cenozoic aquifers. Compiled data was assigned to this interval and were used to characterise groundwater systems at the basin scale.

The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on resource development activities Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater for different development scenarios. 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.

Statement

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.
