Materials suitable for concrete aggregate, railway ballast, road base course, protection of salt field sea wails and rock fill will be required should construction of the petrochemical plant and appurtenant works proceed at Redcliff, 25 km...

The hundred of Warrenben has little exploitable fresh underground water, the existing water occurring as thin layers overlying salt water. There are approximately 80 wells in use with relatively small supplies, with the odd well capable of 165...

Groundwater in Central Yorke Peninsula is generally poor in quality, salinity being commonly greater than 2000 mg/1, and small in supply, with individual wells yielding less than 250 kl/day. The few scattered wells are mainly used for livestock...

The groundwater licensing authorities in the States of South Australia and Victoria recognize that future development of the lands adjacent to the border will depend on the groundwater resource underlying those lands. In most areas there, shallow...

Well cemented slightly wrathered metasandstone (Kanmantoo Group) occurs at the site of the proposed harbour. Fracture spacings are such that when blasted the rock would form blocks of a suitable size for a breakwater. The rock is considered to be...

Evaluates economic potential of all stratigraphic units and recommends modification of Extractive Industry Zone. Contains 115 million tonnes of construction sand predominantly in North Maslin Sand Member and widespread weathered bedrock brick shale....

Cores taken from Barker Inlet and previous subsurface information, are used to interpret the shallow subsurface stratigraphy. Significant Holocene accumulation has taken place at Outer Harbour, Torrens Island, and the Saint Kilda intertidal flats....

There are four different hydrogeological environments in the District Council area of Yankalilla. The important aquifers are.Tertiary Limestone, Permian sands and silts, and Cambrian marbles. The groundwater, is used mainly for livestock supplies and...

Extractive. Industry poses a dilemma for the town planner. Towns and cities are built of quarry products and there are compelling economic reasons for locating construction materials sources as near as possible to the urban consumer. However, most...

Underground water resources in the Angas-Bremer irrigation area have been used to irrigate lucerne pasture since the late 1950's. Falling water levels and rising salinities in the main aquifer, a Tertiary limestone, prompted local farmers to form an...

Final phase of investigations with recommendations.
