Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the north Bowen Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used. The data package included with this data guide captures existing knowledge of near-surface groundwater resources in north Bowen Basin, including salinity, water levels, resource size and surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for the shallow groundwater in the north Bowen Basin are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptual models (Hostetler et al., 2023). Groundwater data for the north Bowen Basin are restricted to the upper 50 m, as a stratigraphic model is not available. Compiled data are assigned to this interval and used to characterise the near-surface groundwater system at the basin scale. The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on potential resource developments in the Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater. The data can also be used for other purposes, such as exploring unallocated groundwater resource potential. Data to January 2022 are used for this compilation.
