EPA Victoria Groundwater Quality Restricted Use Zones (GQRUZ)

Groundwater Quality Restricted Use Zones (GQRUZ) are areas where there has been historic groundwater pollution as a result of previous industrial or other activities. These zones have been subject to cleanup in line with the relevant environmental standards. However, restrictions remain on what the water can be used for if it is extracted via a groundwater bore.GQRUZ do not represent a comprehensive list of all sites where groundwater quality may not be suitable for use. Rather, they represent locations where EPA has formally recognised that groundwater is polluted, following site investigations under EPA's environmental audit program. Other sources of information on groundwater quality include EPA's Priority Sites Register, which lists sites which are currently undergoing clean-up under EPA's compliance and enforcement activities.This dataset is in spatial format and contains a map of GQRUZ across Victoria.

地下水质量限制使用区（Groundwater Quality Restricted Use Zones，GQRUZ）指因过往工业或其他活动造成历史性地下水污染的区域。此类区域已按照相关环境标准开展污染治理工作，但倘若通过地下水钻孔抽取该区域地下水，其使用用途仍受限制。地下水质量限制使用区并非所有地下水水质不适宜使用场地的完整清单，仅代表EPA通过其环境审计项目开展现场调查后，正式认定存在地下水污染的地点。其他地下水质量信息来源包括EPA优先场地名录，该名录收录了当前正在EPA合规与执法活动框架下推进污染治理的场地。本数据集采用空间格式，包含维多利亚州全域地下水质量限制使用区的分布图。
