This dataset consists of structural lineaments with a predominant WSW to ENE orientation and lesser WNW to ESE orientation for the Ovens Valley of Victoria. The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

This dataset consists of deepest sediment trendlines interpreted from bore-controlled residual gravity bedrock depth for the Goulburn-Murray area. The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

The Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric Surface Hydrology Catchments dataset was used as the base layer for considering surface water as an asset. This dataset provided mapped major rivers for Victoria. Numerous investigations into the interaction between groundwater and surface water have occurred across Victoria. Where this information was available in a format suitable for use in a GIS, it was collated to inform a state wide dataset of groundwater and surface water interaction. The resulting product attributes the stream base layer (described above) with the following classification of groundwater and surface water interaction: Gaining Variable Neutral/Losing Unclassified

The data contains linear geological structure data not included in GEOL - this includes anticlines, synclines and bedding form surfaces. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geology outcrop and boundaries, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.

Geological structure measurements taken by Geological Survey of Victoria. Measurement methods - most of the structure measurements were collected in the field as part of the ongoing regional mapping program then entered into the corporate database. Measurements are taken using a geological compass. Surfaces are recorded as dip - dip direction. Lineations are recorded as plunge - azimuth. Declination measured to magnetic north then corrected to true north automatically within the database. A small amount of pre-1995 structural data has been digitised from previous maps. Field data is either recorded in a notebook in the field then typed into the database or recorded digitally in the field and automatically transferred into the database (this applies to the majority of data collected since 2002). Display - structural measurements have been divided into four categories to simplify display. Bedding contains measurements of sedimentary bedding where the bedding surface is upright, overturned or younging unknown. Foliation contains measurements of the commonly measured foliations seen in rocks such as cleavages etc. Folds contains measurements of structures directly associated with folds such as fold axis, axial surface etc. Other contains all other structural measurements including faults, joints, quartz vein orientations etc.

Surface-groundwater interactions were mapped as part of the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) Sustainable Yields Project. This mapping represents a snapshot in time of fluxes to or from major rivers across the Murray-Darling Basin. The regions where connectivity mapping was conducted were: Loddon-Avoca, Campaspe, Goulburn-Broken, Ovens, Murray, Murrumbidgee, Lachlan, Macquarie-Castlereagh, Namoi, Gwydir, Border Rivers, Condamine-Balonne and Barwon-Darling. This dataset includes the qualitative mapped results of the rivers within Victoria and indicates where river reaches are gaining/losing/seasonally varying in nature. An overview report that describes the method used to undertake the surface-groundwater interaction mapping can be found at http://www.clw.csiro.au/publications/waterforahealthycountry/mdbsy/technical/R-SW-GW-Connectivity.pdf.
