Description
This spatial dataset, surveyed at a scale of 1:1000000, provides polygon information on the Great Artesian Basin aquifer, referred to as the J aquifer, within the Northern Territory. The map depicts the elevation and thickness of the J aquifer, in addition to groundwater elevation, flow direction and the spatial extent of artesian conditions. The purpose of the survey was to map and describe water resource information for planning and management.

Data Quality
Lineage:The aquifer extent, depth and thickness were derived from geology maps, topographic maps, processed seismic surveys, and point data from groundwater, mineral and petroleum exploration holes. Formation and groundwater depth data was converted to elevation using the SRTM 1 Second DEM-Sv1.0. The hydrology information was interpreted from standing water level measurements, flows from springs, chemical analysis of groundwater samples and surveys of outcrops of recharge beds.
The map unit boundaries polygons were digitised by rectifying original hard copy base map use in the raster and hydrology interpretations using Bentley MicroStation Design (V7) software. FME Workbench script was then used to convert the unit boundary polygons from MicroStation Design to ESRI Shape with only the Level Names as an attribute. The core water attributes are then attached to this ESRI Shape, which was then use to convert to ESRI Geodatabase, MapInfo Table and Google Earth KML.
Positional Accuracy:Positional accuracy of 1000 metres from bore locations.
Attribute Accuracy:Attributes assigned according to the dominant feature. For example, several similar geological units have been grouped to describe a particular geology. From the geology and hydrology information the hydrogeology units was delineated.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
Completeness:Complete.
