This dataset is a subset of the Victorian Groundwater Data Inventory, developed by DELWP. The Data Inventory collated available data relating to four themes: groundwater recharge, aquifer/aquitard properties, groundwater use and aquifer/aquitard thickness. Information has been sourced from 65 hydrogeological studies and contains a spatially enabled representation of data coverage. This dataset represent the Recharge component of the Data Inventory. A total of 35 groundwater recharge data sources were identified for Victoria and 31 were successfully sourced and added to the database.

Hydrographs from over 2000 state observation bores were reviewed in order to group bores which have a similar water level trend and are screened in the same aquifer. The groupings of observation bores are referred to as 'suites' and are classified according to the Upper, Middle, Lower and Basement aquifers aligning with the Victorian Aquifer Framework. By applying a statistical technical, a normalised hydrograph was developed for each suite using the observed water levels from all bores within the suite. This hydrograph is representative of the groundwater trend within the suite. A spatial boundary has been created for each suite which encompasses all bores within the suite. The boundaries were manually constructed and cover the extent of the mapped aquifers.

The Water Act, 1989, requires that anoyone wishing to extract groundwater must apply for a groundwater licence. Groundwater licences are issued to protect the rights of licence holders, ensure that water is shared amongst users and to ensure that environmental requirements are protected. This dataset is derived from the Victorian Water Register.

1:250,000 Groundwater Flow System layer converted to a grid based on DEM25

The data contains WIM style areas and strandlines (polygons) of Heavy Mineral Sand mineralisation. See also related dataset MINSAND1M_ARC. Data is derived from various exploration company sources, and has related data in the Minerals and Petroleum sites database (VicMine = minerals.minsite). SITEID_MS can be used to join tables.

The data contains primary geological data, namely regolith-landform units and boundary types separating regolith-landform units. The dataset is part of the geological mapping dataset, which includes datasets representing geological rock units and boundaries, regolith-landform units and boundaries, structural lines, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism and placer deposits. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. Data have been captured in projects covering special interest areas, and have been recorded in the field by hand at scales between 1:10,000 and 1:25,000 then prepared for hard copy printing at a range of scales.

Seismic Cross Section Lines. The lines are an index of traces along Seismic Sections where special cross sectional diagrams have been produced.

The analog airborne survey index was originally compiled in MapInfo. It contains survey boundary polygons and associated survey metadata that include acquisition parameters. All open file airborne geophysical surveys are included where data were acquired using analog systems.

This layer contains Victorian wetlands listed in the 3rd Edition of 'A Directory of Important Wetlands of Australia' (2001). Descriptions for each wetland are available in the directory which is available on the Environment Austalia website at: http://www.ea.gov.au/water/wetlands/database/index.html These wetlands are derived from the WETLAND_1994 CGDL layer, hydrological CGDL layer and other sources such as topographic maps. The 2017 update of the Victorian Wetland Inventory (Current) resulted in improved accuracy of the boundary of a number of wetlands, based on on-ground mapping. WETLAND_CURRENT provided the source data to improve the WETLANDDIR dataset.
