Groundwater Catchments (GC)
Region: Victoria
Description: This layer provides the boundaries of the Groundwater Catchments of Victoria and is a product of the NWC funded Secure Allocations, Future Entitlement (SAFE) Project. The Groundwater Catchments (GC) have been developed to provide complete coverage of Victoria while considering the following: (1) Reflect aquifer systems and groundwater movement; and, (2) Align with physical (i.e. surface water) and administrative boundaries where appropriate. The GCs are aligned within Victorias Groundwater Basins (GB). Boundaries that related directly or in-directly to the physical characteristics of groundwater resources included groundwater flow divides, surface water flow divides, topographic divides, and geological structural features that influence aquifer extent and groundwater flow direction.
