Development of Method to Map Potential Stream-Aquifer Connectivity: a case study in the Border Rivers Catchment

Authors: T Ransley, R Tottenham, B Sundaram and R Brodie

This report describes a new method for mapping the potential stream-aquifer connectivity in a catchment. An index model approach combines the available catchment-scale data sets such as watertable depth, geology, geomorphology and soil type to identify the level of connectivity along river reaches. The method allows a first-cut prioritisation of stream reaches enabling targeting of sites for further investigations and priority management.
