A water well survey of the eastern portion of the Hundred of Adelaide was carried out and 320 water wells were visited. The groundwater is obtained predominantly from fractured hard rocks, and consequently there is a large variation in well yields and...

Survey of 11 private water wells.

A hydrological survey to update information for the MURLOOCOPPIE 1:250 000 geological sheet was carried out in October and November 1975. Approximately 80 water wells were located and photographed. Nearly all wells are used for stock water. Salinity...

The effects of pumping from the main aquifer for 20 years at 900 L/sec from hypothetical well 125 km north of Marree, have been simulated using the GABHYD computer program of the BMR. Results indicate that effects outside SA will be minimal and that...

Successful production well was completed to 104.5 metres into Port Willunga limestones. The water is too saline for lawn grass and requires some dilution.

Resistivity investigations were carried out on Wardang Island in an attempt to determine drilling sites favourable for fresh underground water. The thickness of the Bridgewater Formation (aeolianite) and basement elevations were mapped and contoured....

A monitoring programme has been established, in a paddock immediately north of the factory, to ascertain the effect of sprinkler disposal of partly treated factory effluent on soil, herbage and groundwater.composition. The aim of the investigation is...

A study has been carried out to determine the cause of declining water levels in wells for irrigation, stock and domestic supplies. The study commenced in 19/1 and has involved field surveys, the establishment of a network of observation wells and the...

Murray Bridge Abattoir's effluent is being disposed through drainage wells into unconfined aquifers which are hydraulically connected to the Murray River. Six rotary wells encircling the abattoirs area, proved the regional hydraulic gradient to be...

A survey of drainage wells has shown that most are being used to dispose of street runoff and parkland drainage. Silt traps currently in use are poorly designed and not adequately maintained. Best drainage occurs on the northern side of the town where...

35 vertical electrical soundings were conducted to outline and define parameters of the freshwater basin situated 20 km west of Warooka on southern Yorke Peninsula. The basin is thought to extend beyond the surveyed area in the south but most of the...

Survey of 122 water wells. Most of the water is obtained from Permian fluvioglacial sands and from hard rocks of the Cambrian Kanmantoo Group.

Production water well was drilled to 144.5 metres.

Well (100 metres) intersected 6 thin low yielding aquifers mostly in Tertiary and Permian sands.

Dewatering began in 1975 and 10 000 kl/day is being pumped, to be increased to 16 000 kl/day until the cessation of mining in 1981. Although dewatering has caused a water level decline of several metres within 3 km of the mine, yields are still...

A bore (total depth 194 metres), intersected 85 metres of Recent and Quaternary clay and sandy clay, above 109 metres of Tertiary fine quartz sands. Adelaidean bedrock was not intersected. It was completed as an irrigation well with a screen from...

State wide sampling programme has indicated that hydrogeochemical methods are a useful prospecting tool for polymetallic sulphide mineralization. The groundwater generally has assemblage of anomalous heavy metal content near known mineral deposits....

In Adelaide, the term loam' is applied indiscriminately to variety of soils for use in gardens irrespective of texture or suitability. Most of the loam is obtained from fluvial sediments of the Gawler River. The Mining Act has no power to control loam...

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...
