Classified depth to water table for the Great Artesian Basin

## **Abstract** \n\nThe dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are 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.\n\n\n\nCategorised depth to groundwater in the Great Artesian Basin. \n\nCategories are: (Depth indicated is meters below surface, surface elevation taken from 3 Second SRTM DEM-s) \n\n1 = 0 - 5m \n\n2 = 5 - 10m\n\n3 = 10 - 15m\n\n4 = 15 - 20m\n\n5 = 20 - 25m\n\n6 = 25 - 30m\n\n7 = 30 - 35m\n\n8 = 35 - 40m\n\n9 = +40m\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nGrid derived from subtracting the GAB waterlevel elevation surface from the GA 3second SRTM DEM-s\n\n\n\n1. Depth to water table grid created using Raster Calculator. \\[GA 3sec SRTM DEM-s\\] - \\[GAB water table grid\\], Grid: float, produced.\n\n2. QA/QC on float grid to remove values < 0 (water table above surface)\n\n3. Artefacts still exist with high values up to 750m. This issue is resolved by classifying the grid (using the Spatial Analyst, Reclassify tool) into 5m intervals up to 40m than a final category of >40m. This final output is the available grid within this dataset.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (XXXX) Classified depth to water table for the Great Artesian Basin.
