With an increase in world population and recent global climate changes causing increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather patterns, the reliance on groundwater is and will continue to be increasing.

The hydrogeology of the Gwydir Catchment has been studied extensively in the past 40 years, but there are still many gaps in our understanding of the groundwater systems and river-aquifer interactions.

The hydrogeology of the Lachlan Catchment has been studied by numerous authors over the past 40 years, but there are still many gaps in our understanding of the groundwater systems and river-aquifer interactions.

Honours - Interaction of surface water and groundwater in the lower Peel valley

This document captures our current understanding of the hydrogeology of the catchment and provides a multidimensional spatial analysis of the groundwater monitoring bore standing water level (SWL) data.
