Groundwater potential raster with contour lines and survey grid

Interactive mapping

Every layer, one canvas

Select a data type and it appears on the map immediately — VES points, boreholes, sample sites and raster overlays with adjustable opacity.

AI assistant

Ask questions about the archive and get grounded summaries that cite the records used.

Built for ML

Analysis-ready storage so predictive groundwater models can plug straight in.

What the archive holds

Six families of data, one schema

See the catalogue

Vertical electrical sounding

Raw and processed resistivity curves with inversion summaries, layer models and interpreted depths.

Boreholes & pump tests

Lithology logs, screen intervals, drawdown and recovery series, transmissivity, storativity and yield.

Hydrogeological parameters

Porosity, permeability, static and dynamic water levels, specific capacity and aquifer classification.

Geochemistry

Major ions, trace metals, pH, EC, TDS and water quality indices with spatial parameter maps.

Geospatial layers

Elevation, slope, drainage, distance to road, groundwater potential and aeromagnetic derivatives.

3D models

Geological and hydrogeological models in DXF with animated in-browser preview scenes.

How the platform works

01

Explore on the map

Toggle any data type and it renders instantly — points, sample sites and raster overlays with legends.

02

Query and download

Filter by geography, depth and parameter ranges, then export CSV, XLSX or GeoJSON under a clear licence.

03

Contribute your data

Verified users submit data on published templates. Every submission is screened and approved by the Centre.
