From: Constraining the response of continental-scale groundwater flow to climate change
(A) Depth slices through the Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin showing the groundwater flow velocity in \(\log _{10}\) m/day. Streamlines indicate the direction of horizontal flow, their thicknesses are proportional to the magnitude of velocity. The dashed outline indicates the spatial extent of the SGB Basin. This map was generated from our models using Cartopy 0.19 (https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy). (B) Box plot of the groundwater flow velocities through various layers within the model. Due to the depth-dependent hydraulic conductivity, there is generally a reduction of groundwater flow velocities at greater depths.
