Abstract

•AOSR aquifers have a wide range of background water quality.•Interim water quality triggers were exceeded in many hydrostratigraphic units.•Aquifer-wide triggers are not suitable for complex aquifer systems.•Spatial anomalies occurred due to groundwater unit interconnectivity.•Temporal anomalies help locate future geochemical monitoring sites.
