-elevations
-facility roles
-flow irregularities
-lithology
multiple conductivity

For further explanation on these tables, information is found in the Queensland Government Department of Natural Resources and Mining, Groundwater Database : Data Dictionary and Standards.
A read-me file is also provided that allows the user to import each text file to excel or access. All tables have already been imported to the microsoft access database.
The database was created by the staff at the Queensland Government as the States repository of groundwater bore and monitoring information.
