Automated Groundwater Level Mapping: A Tool for Catchment Scale Estimation of Aquifer Storage Changes, Fluxes and Hydrogeological Properties

Grant number: LP130100958 | Funding period: 2014 - 2017

Completed

Abstract

Cutting-edge groundwater mapping tools will be developed by this project and made freely available. Water table maps will be derived for Victoria and used to quantify aquifer properties, recharge and the groundwater balance. Fundamental limitations to quantitative groundwater management will be overcome and the Bureau of Meteorology intend to adopt the findings.
