The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from Hydstra Groundwater Measurement Update - NSW Office of Water, Nov2013. The source dataset ia identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.
Displays the original Hydstra measurement (HYDMEAS) tabular data records (as stored in the Hydstra software platform) in a GIS format for interpretation and analysis.
Analysis completed on this dataset includes extracts to determine location and status of current monitoring bores:
HYDMEAS - original tabular database file (dbf) showing groundwater levels
HYDMEAS_XY_all - displays all original tabular data in GIS shapefile format
HYDMEAS_unique_bores - shows one record for each unique bore station ID
HYDMEAS_2008 - All HYDMEAS data from 2008 or later
HYDMEAS_2008to2013_mulitple_reading - All HYDMEAS data from 2008 or later which has been monitored twice or more (in that period), produced to estimate groundwater level monitoring bores
National Groundwater Information System (NGIS) data supplied as a comparison of HYDMEAS monitoring estimates.
Hydstra is a water resources time series data management system developed by KISTERS Pty Ltd.
Provide spatial distribution of groundwater level monitoring status and reading for New South Wales.
HYDMEAS - original tabular data
HYDMEAS_XY_all - displays all original tabular data in GIS format - Displayed as XY in ArcGIS based on Lat and Long attributes and exported as a point shapefile
HYDMEAS_unique_bores - shows one record for each unique bore ID - Dissolved HYDMEAS_XY_all based on STATION field
HYDMEAS_2008 - All HYDMEAS data from 2008 or later - Selected based on DATE field
HYDMEAS_2008to2013_mulitple_reading - All HYDMEAS data from 2008 or later which has been monitored twice or more (in that period), produced to estimate groundwater level monitoring bores - HYDMEAS_2008 dataset dissolved based on STATION and a count field added. Only bores with count of 2 or more were retained
