Cooper Basin region: surface water package

Publicly available baseline surface water data are compiled to provide a common information base for resource development and regulatory decisions in the Cooper Basin region. This data guide captures existing knowledge of the catchments and watercourses overlying the Cooper Basin, including streamflow quality and quantity, inundation, and climatological data.

The Cooper Basin underlies 3 surface water catchments: the Diamantina River, Cooper Creek and Bulloo River. All 3 rivers follow a similar flow pattern, with most of the run-off generated in the higher rainfall headwater areas (outside the Cooper Basin) before flowing down into extensive floodplains and ending up in terminal lake systems.

The data on the catchments overlying the Cooper Basin have been summarised at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development activities. Key data sources are the Water Monitoring Information Portal (Queensland Government), Water Data Online (Bureau of Meteorology), DEA Water Observations (Geoscience Australia) and Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.

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.
