Description
Abstract This dataset are related to all facets of water on Christmas Island.
This document seeks to provide a description of the Water Resources GIS data layers that have been compiled by ECOWISE Environmental as part of the Christmas Island Groundwater investigations and monitoring report (EHYD 99/17). This report was prepared for GHD Pty Ltd and Christmas Island Administration by Tony Falkland, ACTEW Corporation Ltd 1999. The GIS data and mapping developed for this report was complied by Vince Hazell and Steve Grey from ECOWISE Environmental Pty Ltd. The following data layers have been collated on a CD in ArcView shapefile format:
  • Locations of freshwater Aquifers showing boundaries as best current information will allow.
  • Assessment of freshwater Aquifer vulnerability.
  • The location of monitoring bores, current water collection locations, caves, non-developed (possible) water collection sites and section data.
Additional data and information on the CD includes:
  • Graphical data (. jpeg files) showing section profiles.
  • Image files of maps included in the original report.

As required, outputs of this project include:
  • Water resources layers with spatial data and attribute data on a CD (entitled Christmas Water Resources CD). This CD will be made available to Geoscience Australia for incorporation into the overall Christmas Island GIS and for subsequent distribution to the Christmas Island Administration, the Department of Transport and Regional Services and other authorised users. Separate copies of the CD can be made available, on request, to the Christmas Island Administration and the Department of Transport and Regional Services.
  • This report summarising the data layers on the accompanying CD.
