This Department received a request from the E. & W.S. to drill a replacement hole for their No. 1 well at Melrose, known as Dickson's Bore which-had partially failed. Failure was caused by sand entry into the hole and subsequent pump damage. Poor...

Out of a total of seventeen wells, including 3 shallow exploratory holes, that were drilled in the western quadrant of the North West Aboriginal Reserve between March and May 1976, six were successful. Salinities of the six successful wells range...

53 vertical electrical soundings were conducted as an aid in finding a reliable supply of drinking water for proposed tourist developments near Stenhouse Bay. Host of the area investigated was found to have very saline groundwater. Possible exceptions...

Three groundwater observation wells have been drilled at locations north-west of Murray Bridge to determine the effect of increased stream flows down the Rocky Gully and Preamimma Creeks. Rocky Gully Creek will be capable of accepting about 10 000 m...

Approximately 180 water wells were located on the Gairdner and Childara sheets. The purpose of the survey was to obtain all relevant information, sample he groundwater and photograph all headworks. Groundwater is obtained from unconsolidated...

Survey of 1000 water wells.

A groundwater investigation well, drilled on the site of a proposed public reserve adjacent to the Onkaparinga Estuary, encountered water too saline for use in irrigation. The yield of the well was not tested, and it was subsequently abandoned. A...

Approximately eighty water wells were located on the CALLABONNA sheet area. The purpose of the survey was to obtain all relevant information for, sample the groundwater from and photograph the headworks of all flowing wells. Groundwater is obtained...

A hydrological survey to update groundwater information on the 1:250,000 mapsheet areas KOPPERAMANNA, GASON and PANDIE PANDIE was carried out during April-May 1979. Data on the above three areas has been incorporated into one report because of the...

A water well survey of the Hundred of Onkaparinga was carried out between January 1977 and April 1979. Out of a total of 2025 recorded wells, 1807 were located, the rest being assumed to be abandoned. It is thought that aquifer rock type bears a...

Drilling of 4 observation wells, geophysical surveys, (35 electrical soundings reported in RB 77/137) well discharge test and rainfall gauging have been used to refine the safe yield of this groundwater basin, used for the Warooka town water supply....

44 samples of soil mined locally were tested for organic matter, soil reaction, soluble salts and exchangeable sodium percentage. Virtually none complied with general specifications for garden soils for domestic use. None could be classified as loam...

A seismic refraction survey and two cable tool drill holes were completed to determine foundation conditions for a proposed drainage structure at Dry Crek, Monarto. Drilling showed 10m of Quaternary alluvium overlying Cambrian Kanmantoo Group schist...

Groundwater investigations in the Milang-Langhorne Creek area have been in progress since 1968, with the aim of determining the safe yield of the confined aquifer. The main water use in the area (now referred to as the Angas-Bremer irrigation area at...
