A water well was drilled on Section 1, Hundred of Adelaide to provide an increased supply of groundwater for Diverse Products Ltd. The well was rotary drilled to a depth of 125 metres and completed open hole in Tertiary limestone. Production testing...

The Barabba Gravity Low in the Northern Adelaide Plains has been interpreted as a southerly dipping trough-like depression in Precambrian bedrock, infilled with Tertiary and covered by a blanket of Quaternary sediments. All margins of this feature are...

Two exploration wells have been drilled through the Cainozoic sequence to Precambrian bedrock to provide stratigraphic and hydrogeological data. At the South Parklands site two aquifers were tested. The upper one yielded a large supply of marginally...

The 170 m deep E&WS Seaford Sewerage Treatment Bore passed through a Cainozoic succession comprised of undifferentiated Quaternary and Oligocene, and Eocene Port Willunga Formation, Chinaman Gully Formation, Blanche Point Formation, Tortachilla...

The Willunga Embayment of the St. Vincent Basin is one of the classic areas of Cainozoic geology in South Australia with published studies dating back over the past century. This present study reassesses the geology of the Middle Eocene to Early...

2 water production wells were completed.

Groundwater investigations undertaken in the Willunga Basin since 1974, which have included the drilling of stratigraphic wells, geophysical well logging, water level and salinity monitoring and surface water hydrology studies, have enabled the...

Production well was successfully completed into the Tertiary Port Willunga Beds. Although the well capacity is in excess of 2.5 L/sec, the pumping rate should not exceed 2.25 L/sec. Higher rates will lead to significant silt / sand entry through the...

Rotary drilling of a scout water well north of the Eden - Burnside Fault, penetrated a productive limestone aquifer between 63 and 102 metres in the Port Willunga Beds, within the Adelaide Plains sedimentary basin. Production testing indicates that a...

Three observation wells have been completed in the Port Willunga Formation 'A' for the Water Resources Branch of the Engineering and Water Supply Department. These wells are located in the vicinity of the Little Para River to monitor the response of...

Sludge sample from 400 - 406 feet has abundant foraminifera with Oligocene - Miocene aspect. The upper Janjukian unit of Port Willunga Formation was intersected.

Between December 1977 and February 1978, 103 coal exploration and development holes were drilled in the Wakefield and Clinton coal deposits, 100 km north of Adelaide. These Tertiary deposits, in the northern extremity of the St. Vincent Basin, contain...

Metropolitan Adelaide is founded on a wide variety of soils that overlie sediments and rocks. Some of the soils and sediments react to seasonal and human-induced changes in water content with marked changes in volume. The black earths and...

The Willunga Basin is a complex multi-aquifer groundwater system supporting an area of high agricultural production. Because of the inter-connection between the various aquifers and surrounding basement rocks, the effects of significant withdrawals...

Activities from 1986 to August 1988 included the compilation of a borehole data base, the setting up of a new monitoring network, drilling, test pumping, geophysical logging of wells, water sampling, and a land use survey. Transmissivities from test...

A preliminary study was made of the near vertical coastal cliffs adjacent to Gordon and Stock Street, Aldinga. Continued landsliding of soil-strength cliff-forming materials and toe erosion by the sea have threatened the clifftop esplanade roadway,...

Mines and Energy South Australia (MESA) was commissioned by MFP Australia to undertake an investigation into the feasibility of establishing an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) scheme at The Levels site. The programme is being carried out in two...

Palynological and dispersed cuticle analysis of drill core and cutting samples from exploration wells at Andrew's Farm housing development, Munno Para, has dated the subsea depth interval 99 - 171 metres as Middle to late Middle Miocene. The top of...

The sample was assigned an Early Miocene age and is the youngest surface exposure of Port Willunga Formation.
