Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

Hydstra Water Levels 9-6-12

The Hydstra data for NSW Office of Water (NoW) was extracted on 9 June 2012 although the latest water level reading date is April 2012. The Hydstra groundwater database was provided by NoW and was imported into MS Access from the HYDMEAS database file (dbf).

The Hydstra database stores groundwater level information from \~ 11,800 bores. This includes the NSW monitoring network of bores and private bores (eg. Stock bores with a water level reading).

Site information on the bores has not been included as this data is available from the NoW NGIS. The NGIS has been quality checked and should be used for all site data.

The Hydstra data should only be used for bores that are not included in the WDTF.

Of the 4000 extra bores in hydstra, many water level readings have been taken at the time of drilling and many are once off readings. These data have not been validated.

Any information obtained from the Hydstra data should be assessed for its quality prior to inclusion in a Bioregional Assessment.

There is no data dictionary that came with the hydstra data. Groundwater levels are variable 110.

Variable 110 = Depth to groundwater from the measurement point. The measurement point can then be derived from the NGIS which will have an elevation Field = TSRefElev.

Wdtf NoW 19-11-12

Through the Water Regulations, a full extract of NSW monitoring data was provided in WDTF in November 2012, although the latest water level reading date is September 2012.

WDTF was provided for \~7,800 monitoring bores across NSW. This data was extracted from the original WDTF using python scripts, into the MS Access database.

Site information on the bores has not been included as this data is available from the NoW NGIS. The NGIS has been quality checked and should be used for all site data.

The WDTF is provided to the Bureau by NoW as "Validated" data. Therefore, WDTF should be used as the primary source for groundwater level data.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple datasets. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Combined groundwater bores database for the Hunter subregion drawn from source data. The data are stored in an ArcGIS file geodatabase. The geodatabase consists of five piont shapefiles (associated with the input datasets in the lineage) and three tables. The shapefiles are:

Alluvium_bores.shp

HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB.shp

HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB_20150908.shp

HUN_GW_bores_from_HYDMEA_2012_v01.shp

HUN_GW_bores_from_NSW_NGIS_201407

There are 2121 bores in the Aluvium_bores.shp, 7377 bores in the HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB.shp, 7377 bores in the HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB_20150908.shp (same as previous but with extra attributes added to the table), 590 bores in the HUN_GW_bores_from_HYDMEA_2012_v01.shp and 7753 bores in the HUN_GW_bores_from_NSW_NGIS_201407.shp.

Dataset History

Bore location point features from the the two source datasets were selected for the Hunter subregion and compiled in a file geodatabase. Also contains subsets of this collection. Eg bores on Alluvium which was derived by selecting bores from the NGIS dataset which were located within the HUN Alluvium (1:1m Geology). Attributes relating to the EC, depth and water sources relating to selected bores (where data were available) were added (joined) to the table of HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB.shp to create HUN_GW_BOM_bores_from_AssetsDB_20150908.shp.

Data from over 5000 monitoring stations measuring water quality and quantity across NSW. Real-time data for river levels and flows; storage elevations, temperature and turbidity; and bore water levels. You can see data for rivers and streams, dams, and groundwater in spatial form on a map.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset contains the budget data from the selected 30 groundwater model realisations used for water balance analysis. Realisation index numbers are listed in a text file. Input parameters for every realisation are also provided. Although the raw model outputs are not contained, people can reproduce all the raw outputs using the registered Clarence-Moreton groundwater model together with these input parameters.

Dataset History

The components of the water balance represent a different set of model outputs to the hydrological response variables generated at receptor locations and are therefore not included in the uncertainty analysis reported in companion product 2.6.2 for the Clarence-Moreton bioregion. The water balance analysis was carried out based on 30 model simulations selected from a total of 1847 successful simulations conducted for the sensitivity analysis reported in companion product 2.6.2 for the Clarence-Moreton bioregion. The selection process mainly involves the following steps:

1. Filter models using the forecast water production. Only models with a water production that is within the range from one-tenth of the forecast volume to ten times the forecast volume were used for further analysis.

2. Compute and normalise the head objective function using the observed heads described in the companion product 2.6.2 for the Clarence-Moreton bioregion (Cui et al., 2016).

3. Compute and normalise the baseflow objective function using estimated baseflow at the river stage gauge site near Casino.

4. Rank the models based on the sum of the two normalised components of the objective function described in step 2 and step 3.

5. Conduct a statistical summary analysis using the top 30 models derived in step 4.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

The dataset consists of following shapefiles and their associated spreadsheets:

Bores_outside_HUN-GWZoPHC.shp: consists of all groundwater bores located within the zone of potential hydraulic change (ZoPHC), but located outside the groundwater zone of potential hydraulic change (GWZoPHC).

Groundwater_Elements.shp: consists of all groundwater bores located within the zone of potential hydraulic change (ZoPHC) including the bores located within the mine pits as well as bores located in the various percent quantiles. The shapefiles also includes the information related to groundwater management and water sources they are located in.

Surfacewater_Elements.shp:consists of all surface water extraction points located within the zone of potential hydraulic change (ZoPHC). The shapefiles also includes the information related to groundwater management and water sources they are located in.

WSPGWSources_Jan2017_intersecting_HUNZoPHC.shp: shapefiles representing the management and water source areas intersecting the Hunter subregion.

Dataset History

This dataset consists of economic elements extracted from the public version of the Hunter Assets Database and intersecting the zone of potential hydraulic changes for the Hunter subregion. The shapefiles were created after created a set of queries defined in ARCGIS software for shapefile datasets in the GIS folder of the Assets database. As part of the developing the queries, the updated zone of potential hydraulic changes shapefile along with the updated groundwater zone of potential hydraulic changes were considered.

The groundwater management areas intersecting the zone of potential hydraulic change were extracted from the Management zones dataset supplied by NSW Department of Primary Industries - Water in February 2017 and a shapefile was created by developing a query in the ARCGIS software.

Abstract

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. Figures using these data were created using the Python scripting environment. Output produced probability exceedence curves of drawdown for economic bores in the Namoi assessment area.

Purpose

This dataset was created to draw plots of cumulative areas of groundwater drawdown in the regional watertable aquifer corresponding to economic asset bores.

Dataset History

Element level data for economic bore assets were extracted from the Namoi asset database and stamped with corresponding zone information. Drawdown values from drawdown model grids were extracted to bore points and resulting table was exported to a text file. A Python script then plotted cumulative drawdown for bores within the zone of potential hydrological change for 6 groundwater management units.

The Precipice Aquifer & Equivalents - Thickness and Extent data set, is one of a set that represents the hydrostratigraphic units of the Great Artesian Basin, which include five major aquifers, four intervening aquitards, and the Cenozoic cover to the GAB.

There are five layers in the Precipice Aquifer and Equivalents map data

A: Formation Extent B: Outcrop extent C: Isopach Raster D: Isopach Contours E: Data Point Locations

The datasets have been derived from the lithostratigraphic intercepts in drillhole data from petroleum exploration wells, water bores, and stratigraphic wells. Seismic correlation and assessment of hydrogeological character based on electrofacies have not been used. The working datasest for this study has been derived primarily from the following databases:

1. PEPS-SA (Petroleum Exploration and Production System - South Australia) (Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA, 2011)
2. WaterConnect Groundwater database (Govt. of SA, 2011)
3. QPED (Queensland Petroleum exploration database) (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2010).
4. GABLOG (Great Artesian Basin Well Log Dataset) (Habermehl, 2001)
5. Additional supplementary information was derived from published reports listed in the following section.

Interpretations by OBrien & Wells, (1994); and O'Brien 2011 were used in generating the isopach data (thickness surface and contours) along the boundary of the Surat and Clarence-Moreton Basins.

Isolated polygons in the North West have represent the extents of a basal Lower Jurassic sandstone underlying the Hutton Sandstone which is equivalent to the Precipice Sandstone,.

The purpose of this project is to create a data set that identifies vegetation communities that have a probability of being a groundwater dependent ecosystem within NSW. Probability categories are high, medium, low and non GDE. The data is required to meet legislative requirements for water sharing plans and water resource plans. This is a base data layer that can be used to aid research projects, assessment of state significant development applications, licence applications and compliance issues. For ease of data modelling and management, the dataset was divided into the following catchment management areas; Border Rivers-Gwydir, Central Tablelands, Central West, Hawkesbury-Nepean, Hunter-Central Rivers, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murray, Murrumbidgee, Namoi, Northern Rivers, Southern Rivers, Southern Tablelands, Sydney Metro and Western Division (Far West and Western MDBA).

Please note: Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem mapping used the NSW DPE Environment and Heritage vegetation mapping product as the underlying data source. NSW DPE Water activities such as bore applications that are examined at a site specific scale may need subsequent verification to confirm.

METHOD: Data covering the areas of Upper Darling, Lower Namoi was supplied by the NSW government. Contours in the Macquarie region NSW were interpreted from the Cenozoic isopachs taken from Macaulay, S. & Kellett, J. (2009) Lower Balonne Deep Lead tertiary isopach contours captured from a National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality report (Chamberlain, T. & Wilkinson, K., 2004; Kellett et.al. 2004). Isopachs in the southern portion of the GAB were captured from the Cainozoic Structural Features page 22 of Palaeogeographic Atlas of Australia: Cainozoic (Langford & Wilford, 1995) Isopachs over the Poolowanna Trough and Cooper Basin region were taken from Tertiary Stratigraphy and Tectonics, Eromanga Basin (Moussavi-Harami, R. & Alexander, E., 1998) Isopachs in the central Eromanga Basin, Queensland came from Senior 1978. Position and boundary of the Condamine Basin from Klohn, Crippen & Berger, 2011 - feasibility of injecting CSG water into the central Condamine Alluvium - Summary. Report prepared for department of Environment and Resource Management, Queensland, 8p. Isopachs came from the Cainozoic Structural Features page 22 of Palaeogeographic Atlas of Australia: Cainozoic (Langford & Wilford, 1995) Drill-hole data sourced from PIRSA (2007) and GABLOG (Habermehl, 2001) databases, Gibson et al 1974, and well completion reports from GSQ (Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines, 2012). Data were used to interpolate a surface using the Topo to Raster tool in the ArcGIS Spatial analyst toolset and the resulting raster was clipped to the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource project boundary. Isopach contours were generated from the raster, using the Contour tool in the 3d analyst toolset in ArcGIS.

Samples from three bores were submitted by the Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission, of New South Wales for micropalaeontological examination namely: 1. Bore No. 8271, K.F. Robinson's "Talyealye" property, 2. Bore no. 8290, J.T. O'Connor's "Shannon" property, Bourke, [and] 3. Bore No. 8302, J.J. Doohan, "Yarralee" property, Wanaaring. A detailed description of the microfaunal content of the samples from these bores is given below.

Samples submitted from this bore were taken from the depth of 25 feet down to 475 feet. This report comprises a synopsis of the lithology of the samples after washing, together with notes on the samples.

Microbiological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical data from single-sampling of groundwater bores (n = 47) and the Macquarie River (n = 1) at the Wellington Research Station, New South Wales, Australia. Samples collected over approximately three weeks in October 2014 as part of my PhD research on aquifer microbial ecology. The purpose of the dataset was to thoroughly characterise the environment and microbial biodiversity and provide a rich dataset for testing a range of ecological hypotheses.

Data include: bore construction, location and geology; sampling and sample processing records; microbial (Archaea, Bacteria, Fungi and all Eukarya) OTU abundance by TRFLP fingerprinting; water elemental composition; concentrations of various anions; liquid chromatography of organic carbon/nitrogen species; alkalinity; conductivity/salinity; pH; dissolved oxygen; temperature; inorganic nitrogen ions; site and sample photos; and data processing information.
