Within the Angas - Bremer Irrigation Area, the source of the groundwater being taken currently primarily for the large-scale irrigation of lucerne fodder crops is the confined low salinity Tertiary limestone aquifer. The extent of pumping from bores...

The well has been drilled into an area of low salinity groundwater occurring within the Tertiary limestone aquifer at Karte, north-west of Pinnaroo. A 48-hour well test was carried out at an average pumping rate of 2600 m3/day (23,800 gals/hr), and...

Cable tool and rotary drilling of 8 holes has enabled the geological sequence and general hydrology to be determined in the area to appraise its potential as a disposal site for stormwater runoff from urbanised Monarto.

Shelly fragments amongst poorly sorted, dark grey subrounded quartz sands below Murray Group limestones were examined. It was believed that these might equate to marginal marine or paralic facies of Late Eocene Buccleuch Group. The earliest Tertiary...

A regional groundwater model has been constructed of the Loxton Sands watertable aquifer in the eastern Riverland, over an area extending eastwards from Overland Corner to the State border. It is being used to quantify the salt load impacts on the...

Following a request from the SA Department of Environment and Natural Resources at Berri in the Riverland, a hydrogeological assessment of the Moorook and New Residence irrigation areas was carried out. The water table aquifer occurs in fine to...

Stream erosion has exposed a reverse fault near Cambrai on the Milendella escarpment, indicating a compressive component to the uplift of the ranges. Cambrian rocks have been thrust over Pleistocene fanglomerates and Miocene limestone has been dragged...

Foraminiferal investigation of 3 SADME groundwater observation bores in relation to 2 already studied, resulted in the recognition of lithologically uncharacteristic marine Tertiary units on the margin of the Angas / Bremer Irrigation Area. A...

Micropalaeontological and biostratigraphic studies have been used. Groundwater flow systems were investigated near the Woolpunda Groundwater Interception Scheme (WGIS) - a major area of saline groundwater discharge to the Murray River. Structure was...

The Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) has a commitment in the national interest to managing the health of the River Murray and floodplain environment by mitigating both decreases in river water quality and associated environmental degradation...

An area comprised of three separate sub-blocks generally located ~60 km south of Manna Hill and ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for Tertiary sedimentary uranium which may have formed in buried north to south trending palaeochannels...

AIM: The principal objective of the OC81 Seismic Survey and a calculated, normal moveout velocity-based seismic reflection time stratigraphic well tie to North Renmark 1 was to determine the areal extent of the prospective Permian (and Devonian?)...

TARGET: Possible Tertiary brown coal deposits near Sedan, in the western Murray Basin. EXPLORATION: Evaluation of data as obtained earlier by SADM/SADME drilling and more recently by subject licensees Thiess/CSR from rotary mud vertical open hole and...

Reports document the petroleum exploration history and search philosophy behind PEL 16 over two licence terms, and provide some new raw and interpretative geophysical and geochemical data based on the conduct of 5 seismic surveys and the drilling of 2...

This publication details the stratigraphy of the Murray Basin Province of South Australia. The work leading up to this report has played a major part in the understanding of the sedimentary succession of this important basin-area of the State. The...

The Murray Basin is a shallow, saucer-shaped Tertiary basin covering an area of 120 700 square miles extending from the western foot of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales and Victoria to the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. Geophysical work...

Three observation bores were drilled within 1.5km of each other approximately 4km south-west from Waikerie. Depth ranged from 235 to 329m, substantially deeper than all othe bores in the area, and all Tertiary epochs are represented. The stratigraphic...
