RSWL Data Point Potentiometric Surface - PED

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.

Point data showing corrected reduced water level data and well locations used to generate the Pedirka Basin potentiometric surface.

Purpose

To display the location and density of data that underpins the Pedirka Basin potentiometric surface.

Dataset History

This data set combines water level measurements taken from groundwater wells and pressure readings from drill stem tests in oil/gas exploration wells. Groundwater well locations were sourced from the Northern Territory Government web data portal (http://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/). Location data for the South Australian Petroleum wells was sourced from South Australian Resource Information Geoserver (SARIG) (http://www.minerals.statedevelopment.sa.gov.au/online_tools/free_data_delivery_and_publication_downloads/sarig). Location data for the Northern Territory exploration wells was sourced from http://www.nt.gov.au/d/Minerals_Energy/Geoscience.

Water level data has been density corrected and reduced to mean Australian Height Datum using the SRTM 1 Second

DEM-Sv1.0. Details of the correction process are documented in Wohling D, Keppel M, Fulton S, Costar A, Sampson L and Berens V 2013b.
