Salinity bores

Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.

The data comprises a selection of groundwater bores with salinity measurements in a n ESRI shapefile format. The data includes BoreID, location coordinates as Latitude/Longitude and East/North in GDA94 Zone 55 projection.

Each bore has 3 rounds of salinity measurement recorded in Total Dissolved Salts (TDS), mg/L.

Each Bore is also attributed with the VAF letter code (eg UTQA) for the sampled aquifer and a vaf number code (eg 102) for the assigned Aquifer (Upper, Middle1, Middle2, Lower)

This dataset is superseded by Salinity Bores V1

Purpose

Three rounds of groundwater sampling were conducted in the Gippsland region on a total of 30 bores. Groundwater salinity has been measured according to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration

Dataset History

This dataset is superseded by Salinity Bores V1

Three rounds of groundwater sampling were conducted in the Gippsland region on a total of 30 bores. Groundwater salinity has been measured according to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration.

The results from this sampling program are presented with these salinity maps to show the distribution of salinity in each aquifer.

The data were provided as a MS Excel spreadsheet and then developed into a spatial data set for display.

The method of determining TDS was not provided.
