National and state data review Data required An important component of the project is to review and collate the existing national and state baseline datasets that are of relevance to a national-scale vulnerability assessment of SWI. This can be and resource-intensive, as data requirements are comprehensive and need to be sourced from multiple agencies. Typical datasets and their sources have been provided in Table 10 as an initial starting point to investigate the datasets required for the project. After a comprehensive data review, much data appropriate for the project was found to be available. An outline of all datasets available and their sources follows in the subsections below, and is summarised in Appendix 1. Table 10 Typical datasets and sources. Hydrologic Climate (e.g. rainfall, evapotranspiration, Climate databases Groundwater elevation Groundwater monitoring databases Tidal information Coastal and climate databases Groundwater quality (e.g. salinity and major ion Water quality databases chemistry) Scientific literature, unpublished reports Groundwater recharge/discharge Unpublished reports and other publically available Groundwater extraction and sustainable yield resources information Hydrogeologic Bore survey (e.g. location, elevation, construction, State agency groundwater databases intake screen depth, stratigraphic logs, aquifer Hydrogeological maps, scientific literature, extent and thickness) unpublished reports Aquifer properties (e.g. hydraulic conductivity, Geological maps saturated aquifer thickness, porosity) Reports, state agency databases Geology Geophysics (airborne radiometrics, magnetics, gravity, downhole conductivity and gamma logs, AEM) Physiographic Geomorphology Coastal geomorphic maps Soils Soil maps Beach slope Coastal mapping (OzCoasts) Topography/ bathymetry Topographic maps, Spot heights, DEM’s, LiDAR Surface water features Drainage, streams and waterbody datasets Land use and infrastructure Land use and topographic maps, remote sensing, Vegetation maps (e.g. mangroves) agency databases, catchment authorities, Ecosystem maps unpublished reports Stage agencies, consultant reports Stage agencies, consultant reports
