This dataset was created by CSIRO and provides a spatial coverage of field estimates of recharge conducted across Australia as identified by the review: Crosbie, R. S., Jolly, I. D., Leaney, F. W., Petheram, C., and Wohling, D.: Review of Australian groundwater recharge studies, CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country National Research Flagship, Canberra, 79 pp., 2010a http://www.clw.csiro.au/publications/waterforahealthycountry/2010/wfhc-review-Australian-recharge.pdf A more detailed description of the data is provided in: Crosbie, R. S., I. D. Jolly, F. W. Leaney, and C. Petheram (2010), Can the dataset of field based recharge estimates in Australia be used to predict recharge in data-poor areas?, Hydrol. Earth Syst.
