Hydrogeological mapping pilot study: Ballarat 1:250 000 sheet area

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The work presented is the outcome of a pilot program of 2 1/2 month's duration involving the preparation by Australian Groundwater Consultants (AGC) of a hydrogeological map of the Ballarat 1: 250 000 scale sheet, with accompanying explanatory notes. The pilot program was initiated by Bureau of Mineral Resources through funding provided by the Commonwealth Department of Resources and Energy,and was based on recommendations contained in a report to theDepartment by AGC on the National Groundwater Data Base Inventory 5 Year Forward Program. The pilot program report to BMR by AGC had three parts: volume 1 described the approach and methodology, the second part (volume 2) consisted of a copy of the Victorian Department of Industry, Technology and Resources (DITR) database used to compile the map, and the third part comprised the map and explanatory notes. In the present record the approach and methodology form part 1, and the explanatory notes and map part 2; only representative examples of the database files are included in part 1.
