Notes

Purpose
These data sets are useful to government for evidence-based decision making on natural resources. These dataset are the input data used by hydrogeologists and geoscientists in government, industry and academia for water resource assessments, groundwater use assessments, bioregional assessments, baseline studies and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act compliance.
