Abstract
This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.
Density corrected groundwater elevation contours for the Permian aquifers in the Pedirka Basin displayed at a 20 m interval.
Purpose
To describe the regional groundwater flow pattern within the Pedirka Basin.
Dataset History
Groundwater flow contours are based on density corrected water level measurements from groundwater wells and pressure readings from drill stem tests in exploration wells. Contours are reduced to relative Australian Height Datum (mAHD). Due to data paucity the line work was developed using digitised hand drawn contours. The potentiometric surface is published in the Pedirka Basin Hydrogeological Map (Sampson L, Wohling D, Fulton S, Jensen-Schmidt B and Keppel M, 2014, South Australia and Northern Territory Pedirka Basin Hydrogeological Map - Part 1 & Part 2.
