The broader Aquifer spatial dataset was clipped to the Katherine Mapping the Future study area. Boundaries within the Jinduckin Formation have been merged into one polygon. Fractured rock aquifers in the north-eastern portion of the study area have been merged into a single polygon and renamed "Fractured Basement Aquifers", corresponding to the geological unit known as the Antrim Plateau Volcanics.
Linework on some of the aquifer boundaries has been refined to the 1:250k scale using the Katherine geological map sheet: https://geoscience.nt.gov.au/gemis/ntgsjspui/handle/1/81674.</gco:CharacterString></gmd:statement></gmd:LI_Lineage></gmd:lineage></gmd:DQ_DataQuality></gmd:dataQualityInfo></gmd:MD_Metadata>
