New Zealand Hydrogeological Systems

This hydrogeological system GIS dataset provide a nationally-consistent basis for hydrogeological mapping in New Zealand. Hydrogeological systems are defined here as geographical areas with broadly-consistent hydrogeological properties, and similar resource pressures and management issues.

The ‘NZ_hydrogeologicalsystem_polygon.shp’ provides seven hydrogeological attributes as follows: unique name (HS_name), unique identification (HS_id), system type (HS_type), coastal information (HS_coast), aquifer overview (HS_overview), geology and age group (HS_geo_gr) and geology and age descriptor (HS_geo_age). Nine system types are identified (see figure below). The ‘NZ_hydrogeologicalsystem_boundary.shp’ attribute table identifies, the source and methods of boundary delineation.


Attribute names, descriptions and values for both datasets are detailed in Moreau et al. 2019.

Statement

In compiling the datasets, inferences and assumptions have been made about hydrogeological systems at a regional scale (i.e. 1:250,000). At the time of publishing, no validations using actual observations have been made (e.g., yield, aquifer properties, etc.), and the dataset does not include any information regarding the sustainability of a hydrogeological system (e.g., recharge/discharge areas, water balance, etc.). Experience and an appreciation of the limitations of the dataset is needed by persons using the dataset as an element in their decision making over access to and use of groundwater resources. In addition, the dataset should be treated with caution for detailed studies at map scales of less than 1:250,000. The data user acknowledges that neither GNS Science nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the datasets or the accompanying report. GNS Science accepts no responsibility for any use or reliance on the datasets and shall not be liable to any person, on any ground, for any loss, damage or expense arising from such use or reliance.

If the data user makes the datasets available to any third party, the data user indemnifies and holds harmless GNS Science for any event arising from such use or supply.
