Lake Victoria is an off-river water storage in western N.S.W. and the Rufus River is its outfall channel to the River Murray. Very saline groundwater seeps into the Rufus River and hence enters the River Murray system. A groundwater pumping scheme is...

4 deposits with recorded production from Tertiary filter sand and gravel at Rowland Flat, Loxton and Berri and Quaternary sand at Murbko are described. Quaternary sand at Naracoorte is potential site. Sand is used for filtration of metropolitan water...

Sources of hard rock are restricted. Deposits of limestone and silicified sandstone are significant because of their proximity to Renmark and Berri. The present competition for these resources should be resolved by reserving an appropriate area from...

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...

A regional groundwater model has been constructed of the Loxton Sands watertable aquifer in the eastern Riverland, over an area extending eastwards from Overland Corner to the State border. It is being used to quantify the salt load impacts on the...

A combined groundwater and solute transport model (MODFLOW and MT3D) was constructed of the Loxton Irrigation Area to determine the future impacts on groundwater levels and salt loads to the river and floodplain for a range of local irrigation...

Foraminiferal dating of marginal marine sediments intersected in WH1 drillhole was carried out to identify the age of the Tertiary drilling objective reached, a heavy mineral-bearing single stratum.

The Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) has a commitment in the national interest to managing the health of the River Murray and floodplain environment by mitigating both decreases in river water quality and associated environmental degradation...

In a search for possible economic buried copper-gold mineralisation that might be associated with an inferred south-western extension of the major Anabama - Redan Fault Zone system, the licensee conducted reconnaissance minus 80 mesh stream sediment...

An airborne scintillometer reconnaissance with ground-based follow-up, a geochemical study of groundwater, and open-hole rotary mud drilling (10 vertical holes, total 3205 feet) plus downhole wireline geophysical logging failed to locate significant...

Portions of the Tertiary shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) deposited in the central western Murray Basin within SA's Murray Mallee district have been explored for possible economic heavy mineral sand (HMS)...

Exploratory drilling to search for heavy mineral sands, performed over an area extending to 160 km north and north-west of Renmark, has targeted marginal marine placer deposits of detrital rutile, ilmenite and zircon in potential Loxton - Parilla Sand...

Within the now relinquished licence portions, parts of six traverses of reverse circulation aircore drilling (involving 68 vertical open holes, total 1918.5 m) tested 60 km strike length of interpreted heavy mineral sand - bearing marine beach facies...

Iluka Resources is exploring for possible economic heavy mineral (HM) deposits that may have formed in the northern Murray Basin, with a strategy of targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand formation sediments deposited during the Pliocene marine...

An area located immediately south of the Sturt Highway that connects between Swan Reach and Loxton, in the vicinity of the Woolpunda Irrigation Area, has been explored for possible buried accumulations of Tertiary heavy mineral sands which may have...

An area located in the northern SA Murray Mallee region, covering an extent of ground surrounding Loxton, has been explored for possible buried accumulations of Tertiary heavy mineral sands which may have formed in the sedimentary cover. In total, 816...

An area located in the north-eastern SA Murray Mallee region, and centred ~ 35 km south-southeast of Loxton, has been explored for possible buried accumulations of Tertiary heavy mineral sands which may have formed in the sedimentary cover. In total,...
