The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

The results of a 1982 State-wide hydrogeochemical survey showed the Musgrave Block to be anomalous and potentially mineralised. In 1997 a groundwater quality survey was undertaken for the remote communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands. Water...

Within Australia, dryland salinity has been recognised to be an important issue which presents unique challenges to land managers, policy makers and regulators. It currently affects 326 000 ha of land in South Australia (in addition to 84 000 ha of...

A study has been undertaken of the South Australian portion of the Great Artesian Basin from the geochemical viewpoint, to try to determine favourable areas within it for the accumulation of oil or natural gas, by invoking the hydrological concept of...

Despite good rainfall, the groundwater resources on Kangaroo Island are limited, with localised good quality groundwater available only in small supplies. Just over 75% of all wells drilled on the island have a salinity of over 2000 mg/L, with 95% of...

The Naracoorte Ranges Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is 300 km SE of Adelaide, and covers about 2400 square km. The PWA consists of a low-lying interdunal flat in the SW, and an elevated highlands area in the NE, separated by the Kanawinka Fault. The...

The City of Tea Tree Gully is seeking to establish an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project at the Tea Tree Gully Golf Course, which is located approximately 20 km north-east of the city of Adelaide. The application of ASR would enable the golf...

Groundwater monitoring commenced in 1975 to provide the basis for assessment of water level and salinity trends, thereby providing the necessary information for the development of appropriate management strategies to ensure the sustainability of the...

The Abminga bedrock drilling program was initiated in 1999 as part of the Targeted Exploration Initiative of South Australia (TEISA) strategy conceived by the SA Government and implemented through PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group. Drilling was proposed...

The Tatiara Prescribed Wells Area (PWA) is about 250 km SE of Adelaide and covers about 3500 squ km. The PWA consists of a coastal plain to the west and the uplifted Pinnaroo Block to the east, referred to as the eastern highlands area. They are...

A five-layer finite difference groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was developed for the Mallee Region to determine the impacts of irrigation on water levels and salinities. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions over the entire modelled...

A desktop study was undertaken to review the current status of the groundwater system in the Barossa Valley Prescribed Water Area. With the current rates of groundwater withdrawal, water table levels are remaining generally stable, except in the...

An initial office-based survey of a representative group of 199 groundwater production wells that are completed within the upper Tertiary aquifers in the Northern Adelaide Plains Prescribed Wells Area found that 34 of these wells had abnormally high...

A small graben indicated by regional geophysical data from an area north of Mount Woods was investigated for its Permian coal potential. A semi-detailed gravity survey of three NW-SE lines totalling 57 km at 200 m station spacing was conducted, and a...
