It also involved preliminary identification of the parameters (climate, soils, regolith, near-surface geology, landforms, vegetation etc.) that determine recharge and discharge rates along with a review of the appropriate scale mapping approaches available for these parameters. The second phase of the project utilised empirical relationships derived from data collected in Phase 1 of the project in a decision tree methodology that guides the user to the most appropriate estimate for recharge/discharge given the data availability. This report documents the various methods of estimating recharge and/or discharge using specifically developed Excel spreadsheets and associated input GIS data. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[96.0, -44.0], [168.0, -44.0], [168.0, -9.0], [96.0, -9.0], [96.0, -44.0]]]} 96.0 168.0 -44.0 -9.0 AU Earth Sciences GA Publication GIS Published_External Record drainage geoscience groundwater land cover Download the Record (pdf) documentDigital Download the Record (pdf) PDF Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
