The only mineral workings are borrow pits for local roads. Reconnaissance sampling has shown that some of the dune sands have potential for glass manufacture and foundry use. Future exploration may discover coal and base metals, but deposits would be...

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.

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...

A well survey of the hundred of Yankalilla was conducted to accurately locate all wells and update well information. About 100 wells were located with most of the groundwater being obtained from the Permian fluvioglacial sediments and from rocks of...

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...

Examines the way in which the South Australian Planning and Development Act allocates present and future land use with respect to the mining and quarrying industry, highlighting its inadequacies, and makes numerous recommendations for improvements in...

Control of mineral workings and mineral resource protection is largely neglected. The future availability of essential mineral and energy products requires protection and control.

Describes special features of mineral bearing land to provide basis for developing practical planning policies.

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...

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...

Within the Angas - Bremer Irrigation Area, the source of the groundwater being taken currently primarily for the large-scale irrigation of lucerne fodder crops is the confined low salinity Tertiary limestone aquifer. The extent of pumping from bores...

Groundwater investigations undertaken in the Willunga Basin since 1974, which have included the drilling of stratigraphic wells, geophysical well logging, water level and salinity monitoring and surface water hydrology studies, have enabled the...

It is appropriate for a paper on exploration and mining to be included in a conference concerned with conservation because mineral and energy resources have similar unique properties to the other natural and cultural features listed in this programme....

Environmental and amenity factors have introduced a new dimension to the technical problems of the mining industry in finding, extracting and processing the mineral and energy products on which we all depend. Intervention by outside regulatory bodies...

This thesis describes the physiographic features of the Adelaide region, and their interpreted significance for elucidating past climatic, hydrological and biotal conditions. The application of physiographic mapping in modern land use management is...

Investigations in the Hindmarsh Tiers Basin have shown that there is no direct evidence for depletion of groundwater, although summer pumping casues 5 to 10 metre drawdowns near the centre of the area. The main aquifer, a Tertiary bryozoal limestone,...
