Great Artesian Basin - Alluvium Water level

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

This data set represents recent water level measurements as well as in the Quaternary alluvial aquifer in the Surat sub-basin and demarcates areas where water levels in the Quaternary alluvium are higher than the regional water table in the uppermost GAB aquifer, and areas where the GAB regional water table is coplanar with or higher than the water levels in the alluvium. There are two data layers, A: Alluvium water table elevation contours, B: Relationships between Alluvium water levels and GAB water table levels. This dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 81674.
