Descriptive topics are grouped into the following themes: Location and administration; Demographics; Physical geography; Surface water; Geology; Hydrogeology; Groundwater; Groundwater management and use; Environment; Land use and industry types; and Scientific stimulus.\n\nThe Wiso Basin, a large intra-cratonic basin in the central Northern Territory, covers about 140,000 square kilometres and is part of the Centralian Superbasin. It is bounded by the Tennant and Tanami regions to the east and west, while a thrust fault separates it from the Arunta Region to the south. The basin adjoins the Georgina Basin in the southeast and joins the Daly and Georgina basins beneath the Cretaceous strata of the Carpentaria Basin in the north.\n\nThe basin contains a relatively flat, undeformed succession of strata that gently dip towards the main depo-centre, the Lander Trough. About 80% of the basin consists of shallow middle Cambrian strata, while the remaining portion is within the Lander Trough, containing a diverse succession of Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian units.\n\nThe depositional history and stratigraphy reveal that early Cambrian saw widespread basaltic volcanism, with the Antrim Plateau Volcanics forming the base layer and aquitard of the Wiso Basin. The middle Cambrian deposits include the Montejinni Limestone, the oldest sedimentary unit, followed by the Hooker Creek Formation and the Lothari Hills Sandstone. The uppermost Cambrian unit is the Point Wakefield beds.\n\nThe Ordovician deposits consist of the Hansen River beds, primarily composed of fossiliferous sandstone and siltstone deposited in shallow marine environments. The Devonian unit capping the basin is the Lake Surprise Sandstone, found in the Lander Trough area, formed in shallow marine, shoreline, and fluvial environments during the Alice Springs Orogeny.\n\nThree main hypotheses have been proposed for the formation of the Lander Trough: a large crustal downwarp before thrusting of Paleoproterozoic rocks, the formation of a half-graben by faulting along the southern boundary, or the formation of two en-echelon synclines by vertical block movement.\n\nWhile the majority of the Wiso Basin consists of shallow middle Cambrian rocks, the Lander Trough presents a more varied stratigraphic sequence, holding potential for Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian rocks. However, further drilling is needed to verify this. The presence of similar units in neighbouring basins provides valuable insight into the basin's geological history and development.", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 16, "organization": {"id": "0143757a-86ab-43e4-bba6-4a3a2a02b6c4", "name": "australian-ocean-data-network", "title": "Australian Ocean Data Network", "type": "organization", "description": "Harvester for Australian Ocean Data Network", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-23T12:29:10.320926", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://catalogue.aodn.org.au", "href": "https://catalogue.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/csw/dataset/wiso-basin-hydrogeological-inventory13", "title": "Australian Oceans Data Network"}, "owner_org": "0143757a-86ab-43e4-bba6-4a3a2a02b6c4", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[130.1623, -21.1171], [134.4133, -21.1171], [134.4133, -16.0052], [130.1623, -16.0052], [130.1623, -21.1171]]]}", "spatial_coverage": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[130.1623, -21.1171], [134.4133, -21.1171], [134.4133, -16.0052], [130.1623, -16.0052], [130.1623, -21.1171]]]}", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2019-04-08 01:55:29", "title": "Wiso Basin hydrogeological inventory", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2026-04-04T03:55:58.225723", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "Download the report (pdf) [733.3 KB]", "format": "PDF", "hash": "", "id": "e7160909-e74d-455f-96f6-d8a2d3b196c5", "last_modified": null, "metadata_modified": "2026-04-04T03:55:58.204437", "mimetype": null, "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "Download the report (pdf) [733.3 KB]", "package_id": "d8a7a480-c8c4-463f-b54a-4d5354744edd", "position": 0, "resource_locator_function": "", "resource_locator_protocol": "WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link", "resource_type": null, "size": null, "state": "active", "url": "https://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/148752/148752_00_1.pdf", "url_type": null, "zip_extract": false}], "tags": [{"display_name": "Basin Analysis", "id": "4925707d-493c-4fb3-9727-ad3f4fc1fc9f", "name": "Basin Analysis", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "EARTH SCIENCES", "id": "927af2a7-7457-45c2-bd55-10000fd09c14", "name": "EARTH SCIENCES", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "ECOLOGY", "id": "7b188bc5-b8e8-41b3-a388-40f0f2ea485b", "name": "ECOLOGY", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES", "id": "0769b117-3ec9-4b5a-9d9f-f00338d4a2f9", "name": "ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Environmental Management", "id": "74f6a58c-11a6-41cf-bd4e-7b55b4ee6844", "name": "Environmental Management", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Exploring for the Future", "id": "e7ba852d-d492-4846-a138-b3b1f58c4e1b", "name": "Exploring for the Future", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "GEOLOGY", "id": "a6a2a1d6-6188-4c8a-b6b8-3e84dfa4a8c9", "name": "GEOLOGY", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Groundwater", "id": "0b1c69b9-3675-4c1e-aa46-9827e4832495", "name": "Groundwater", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Hydrogeology", "id": "f8a49018-6a25-4b22-b655-9a64177dd4d9", "name": "Hydrogeology", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Land Use and Environmental Planning", "id": "4496fb69-0bbd-4ffb-bc1a-caf39def1ad5", "name": "Land Use and Environmental Planning", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "National Groundwater Sytems", "id": "ee1178c3-ad50-4ac0-9765-cd3499d6a1aa", "name": "National Groundwater Sytems", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "National Hydrogeological Inventory", "id": "1be26895-ceec-4186-a451-cbc4733fc38e", "name": "National Hydrogeological Inventory", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GEOSCIENCE", "id": "9d4c07fd-caee-4f2d-ab4e-9e8b9750cb88", "name": "PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GEOSCIENCE", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Published_External", "id": "5178775c-8044-4b7f-881f-5428a4e2d925", "name": "Published_External", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Sedimentology", "id": "a10ad02a-d31d-4a36-8bfd-53ec1c559e48", "name": "Sedimentology", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Stratigraphy (incl.
