Beneficial Use - Middle Tertiary

This layer is part of a set that defines the beneficial use of Victoria's groundwater resources.

A beneficial use may be an existing or potential use. A resource may have more than one beneficial use. The State's groundwater resources have a number of beneficial uses. These uses primarily depend on groundwater quality and aquifer yield and can be assigned to broad water quality classes.
