Salinity bores V1

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.\n\n\n\nThe data comprises a selection of groundwater bores with salinity measurements in a n ESRI shapefile format. The data includes BoreID, location coordinates as Latitude/Longitude and East/North in GDA94 Zone 55 projection.\n\nEach bore has 3 rounds of salinity measurement recorded in Total Dissolved Salts (TDS), mg/L.\n\nEach Bore is also attributed with the VAF letter code (eg UTQA) for the sampled aquifer and a vaf number code (eg 102) for the assigned Aquifer (Upper, Middle1, Middle2, Lower)\n\nA Median value for TDS mg/L is given for each bore\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nThree rounds of groundwater sampling were conducted in the Gippsland region on a total of 30 bores. Groundwater salinity has been measured according to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThis data set supersedes Salinity Bores\n\n\n\nThree rounds of groundwater sampling were conducted in the Gippsland region on a total of 30 bores. Groundwater salinity has been measured according to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration.\n\nThe results from this sampling program are presented with these salinity maps to show the distribution of salinity in each aquifer.\n\nThe data were provided as a MS Excel spreadsheet and then developed into a spatial data set for display.\n\nThe method of determining TDS was not provided.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (2016) Salinity bores V1.
