Groundwater salinity data is collected by State and Territory water agencies and delivered to the Bureau in line with the Water Regulations.
Groundwater salinity data in the Explorer is updated at least annually. The currency of the data varies per area and/or data provider.
Salinity data is measured in one of two ways:
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in units of milligrams per litre (mg/L), which measures the weight of dissolved content per litre of water.
Electrical Conductivity (EC) in units of micro-Siemens or milli-Siemens per centimetre (µS/cm or mS/cm). Electrical Conductivity is a reliable estimator of the salinity of water.
Information about groundwater salinity fields:
HydroCode — Jurisdictional bore and pipe/outlet identifier (if relevant) e.g. GW030285.1.1 in NSW, 90001A in QLD
Agency — Name of agency responsible for managing the bore e.g. Department for Environment and Water
Salinity — Availability of salinity data
SalinityCount — Number of salinity measurements
SalinityDateMin — Earliest date of salinity data
SalinityDateMax — Latest date of salinity data
