Glendambo, 298 km NW of Port Augusta, is currently supplied with 5000 mg/L groundwater. Drilling has located a small area of 2000 mg/L water. Hydraulic and recharge estimates indicate a sustained yield of about 1 ML/year. Because the town is located...

Investigations since 1984 have assessed the groundwater availability. The groundwater supplies are obtained from an extensive unconfined aquifer. The investigations included drilling of investigation wells, aquifer testing, studies of the recharge...

Observation well network trends and land use were reviewed to assess the need for administrative controls on groundwater withdrawal. Up to 1980-81, the hydrogeologic system was in near balance but the amount of groundwater extraction has increased,...

Potable (over 1000 mg/l) groundwater occurs in 5 lenses. Annual yield totals 14 000 to 19 000 ML. Between 400 and 2 500 ML / year (seasonally dependent) is abstracted for reticulation. Diffuse, unquantified extraction for stock and domestic purposes...

Data from 300 water wells mainly completed in Kanmantoo Group rocks.

In 1985 1 production well and 4 scout wells were drilled around Quorn. Pump testing shows the production well has a low long term yield and none of the scout wells show any potential for town water supply. Deeper wells should be drilled in the...

Investigations include back hoe pits and hand augering. Future fly ash disposal will increase hydraulic gradients towards the gulf and thus increase rate of groundwater flow in that direction. Potential exists for damage to the mangroves through...

An SA government investigation has been undertaken to determine the extent of groundwater pollution resulting from the waste disposal practices used at the now abandoned Kongorong cheese factory. During the period 1924 to 1971, liquid effluent from...

Study of the top 2 cm of sediment from 13 vibrocores. 7 facies are described. Relative abundances of foraminifera are determined for the 0.125 - 0.25 sediment size fraction distribution patterns indicates ecology and sedimentary environment.

11 of 13 wells, in fractured rock aquifers were tested. Most showed drawdowns linear with the square root of time, and consequently long term yields are generally much smaller than airlift yields. 6 were found to have long term yields greater than 0.5...

Pump tests at 2 sites along the Murray River indicate Murray Group unconfined aquifer transmissivity of 100-130 m3/d/m. The tests were not long enough for reliable estimates of aquifer specific yields.

The Carribie Basin is in the western portion of Yorke Peninsula. The aquifer is unconfined Bridgewater Formation, recharged by direct infiltration of rainfall. Results of the interpretation of previous geophysical surveys, pump testing analysis and...

This pamphlet gives advice to any person wishing to employ a contractor to drill, or make repairs to a water well. Drilling a well can be complex and expensive, and it is important to make the correct decision about whether to drill and if so, where...

Final phase of investigations with recommendations.

Survey of 100 water wells. Groundwater is obtained from the artesian Jurassic aquifer, the Tertiary Quaternary sediments and Willyama Complex basement. Salinities are high.

Survey of 62 wells. Ground water occurs in 2 main aquifers : Tertiary limestone and Quaternary alluvial sediments.

Investigation of cause of mangrove dieback, which is probably due to highly saline ground water.

Twenty four water wells were drilled, and three existing water wells cleaned out, in the North-West Aboriginal Reserves during 1978. Sixteen of the new wells were successful in obtaining a groundwater supply suitable for their specified use, which was...

A water well survey of the Hundred of Carribie on southern Yorke Peninsula was conducted to accurately locate all wells and to up-date hydrogeological information records about these wells. Almost 100 wells were located, with the groundwater in them...

Shallow exploratory drilling of groundwater-prospective areas identified near each township has shown that provision of a water supply from shallow open trenches is impracticable in both cases. At Port MacDonnell, the Gambier Limestone aquifer has a...
