Abstract
The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.
This dataset describes the correlation of the Ronlow beds to other geological units in the Galilee subregion. The Ronlow beds are stratigraphic equivalents of three formal geological units: the Hutton Sandstone, the hooray Sandstone, and the Injune Creek Group. For the preparation of potentiometric surface maps and other hydrogeological interpretation of data from the Galilee subregion, the Ronlow beds were partitioned into three sub-units, which were assigned to either the Hutton Sandstone, Hooray Sandstone, or Injune Creek Group. This partitioning was based on potentiometry of bores screened in the Ronlow beds.
Dataset History
Hydraulic head data for bores screened in the Ronlow beds from dataset 'JkrRonlow_beds_Partitioning.gdb' were compared to hydraulic head values in bores assigned to the Hutton Sandstone, Hooray Sandstone, and Injune Creek group. Bores screened in the Ronlow beds were then assigned to either the Hutton Sandstone aquifer, Hooray Sandstone aquifer, or Injune Creek Group aquitard based on similarities in hydraulic head.The polygons were created in an ArcMap editing session.
