Extraction bores v1 Geodatabase

Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is 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 layer provides source data for groundwater to the Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse which was closed down November 2013. It contains selected extraction wells attributed to the specific model layers used in the Gippsland regional Groundwater Model.

This was recently replaced by WMIS: http://data.water.vic.gov.au/monitoring.htm

The latest update (Oct 2013) for this dataset is from the GMS (as all previous datasets have been). Next update will be from WMIS.

Dataset History

This dataset was not accompanied by any description of how it was developed. It is assumed that it is a selection of bore locations extracted from the WMIS which have been attributed with other data relating to model layers, extraction rates and aquifer details. Please refer to the Principal investigator Craig Beverly for details (Gippsland Groundwater model, Beverly et al 2015)

The following description is provided by www.vvg.org.au. The WMIS is the statewide repository of groundwater bore information managed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) for the State Government Victoria. The data in the WMIS was migrated from the former Groundwater Management System (GMS) in 2013 and the current database holds groundwater information on approximately 220,000 boreholes throughout Victoria. The WMIS is also accessible directly through the DELWP groundwater portal.
