 "description": "<DIV STYLE=\"text-align:Left;\"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE=\"margin:12 0 12 0;\"><SPAN><SPAN>The process of attributing aquifer and aquifer province information to bores is critical for the interpretation of hydrogeological data, as it identifies the hydrostratigraphic unit that occurs within the production zone of a groundwater bore, i.e. the subsurface zone where the bore is open to the aquifer and draws groundwater. Assigning aquifer attribution improves comparison of groundwater data from bores across the investigation area, providing confidence that groundwater data relates to the same hydrostratigraphic unit.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><P STYLE=\"margin:0 0 0 0;\"><SPAN><SPAN>This dataset provides information on the hydrostratigraphic aquifer and aquifer province attribution to the screened/open intervals for groundwater bores in the Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre Basin (KT-LEB) region.

For instance, often Cenozoic sediments are not differentiated into individual hydrostratigraphic units. Whilst more general, the aquifer province attribution is useful, particularly where either aquifer attribution is poorly defined or for providing another (broader) level of grouping for hydrogeological data. Aquifer province attribution is particu<\/SPAN><SPAN>l<\/SPAN><SPAN>a<\/SPAN><SPAN>r<\/SPAN><SPAN>ly useful if an area includes several stacked or laterally distributed sedimentary basins.
