Brackish basil aquifer data indicates the approximate boundary of the basal aquifer with brackish or saline water, on Christmas Island. Accuracy: The estimated extent of the boundary is based on information from salinity monitoring boreholes and some estimation based on knowledge of freshwater aquifer behaviour on the island. The boundaries are somewhat subjective and are in fact not fixed, as they will move according to wet and dry periods. Hence it is difficult to generate an accuracy estimate. It could be said that the brackish or saline basal aquifer boundary would normally be within 30m of the boundary shown, but this could be greater during very dry or very wet periods Layers were supplied as ESRI shapefiles in CIG85 projection. In September 2003, Geoscience Australia projected these shapefiles into the MGA (GDA94) projection using an XY (X=550015, Y=8780001) shift.
