Description: This dataset outlines the primary purpose for which groundwater bore was drilled. It is a subset of the dataset “Groundwater_bores_screen_aquifer_province_attribution_LEB”. The process for determining bore purpose depends on the type and quality of information available for each bore as well as the size of the investigation area and the study objectives. Bore information was compiled available from archival state and territory government databases Sources of archival bore data evaluated for the KT–LEB included Queensland Government (2023), NT Government (2023), SA Government (2023) and NSW Government (2023).Sometimes groundwater bores may have multiple purposes. Key bore purposes highlighted by this dataset include town water supply, monitoring or observation bores, resources (i.e. a monitoring or dewatering bore installed by a resource company), or a stock route bore. If no purpose information was available for a particular bore, then a bore was assumed to have been drilled for stock and domestic purposes.
