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.
