Fractured rock aquifers were investigated by drilling of 7 vertical holes and 2 angle holes in the Windy Creek area. 1 well was completed as production well with an airlift yield of 12 L/s. The steeply dipping fractured sandstone aquifer responds as a...

4 of 7 wells were successfully drilled near Wirraminna Rail Siding and should be adequate for highway requirements for compaction water. Groundwater quality in all cases is saline (over 16000 mg/L TDS).

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...

Water budget and salt balance studies indicate deterioration in water quality with time since there is now no natural outflow for the confined groundwater. A controlled well recharge experiment using water from Lake Alexandrina with 2 injection and 3...

Groundwater supplies obtained from aquifers within a complex series of sediments of Cainozoic age are used in the Barossa Valley for irrigation, mainly of vineyards. The estimated annual extraction volume is 1.6 million cubic metres. A tentative...

Seven wells were drilled in the Oak Valley area. One well drilled at the airstrip yielded 3 L/s of 74 000 mg/L water, a quality that is only suitable to use for compaction. Three wells drilled close to swamps located west of Oak Valley gave low yields...

Summarises all work from 1.7.78 to 1.7.82, including bibliography of all hydrogeology and engineering geology reports for Eyre Peninsula and the Far West.

Rotary drilling of 26 holes has defined northern limits of Tertiary limestone, salinity and potentiometric head of 3 Tertiary aquifers.

160 wells were located and sampled from 4 major aquifers , Adelaidean, Kanmantoo Group, Permian, and Tertiary - Quaternary sediments.

5 drill holes (580.2 metres) between Waikerie and Overland Corner to investigate scheme to intercept saline ground water inflows to River Murray, revealed consistent lithology and sequence in Murray Group carbonate sandstone aquifer and average value...

The abandoned Brukunga pyrite mine is a source of acid drainage which pollutes nearby creeks. 6 holes (6627-WW 7454 to 7459) totalling 123 metres were drilled in the quarry benches to investigate acid drainage which is produced in 2 ways : 1....

Site of relatively high groundwater pollution potential has been rendered safe because of thorough leachate collection, treatment and disposal system designed for the then proponent by its consultant. The site is located within shallow (less than 40...

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...

Survey of 140 water wells. The main aquifers are the Cadna-owie Formation / Algebuckina Sandstone.

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...

A field study has been carried out in the Picadilly Valley to check whether depletion of the sandstone aquifer is occurring in response to intensive pumping for vegetable irrigation. Groundwater samples have been taken from all domestic wells and some...

As part of the Department's monitoring of groundwater usage and salinity changes over time in the southern Murray Basin region, 700 water wells were visited and located. Groundwater is available from an unconfined Tertiary - Quaternary aquifer, which...

The drilling of a further 16 rotary holes, as part of continuing investigations by the E&WS Department into the effect of groundwater on River Murray salinity, has indicated that the northern and north-western limits of the Tertiary limestone...

This report is based on groundwater data and description of the Seaford stratigraphic bore. Basement high was delineated by drill hole logs and seismic results.

A proposed waste disposal site near Waterloo Corner was assessed for groundwater pollution potential. 3 existing and operating waste disposal sites are contributing minor levels of contaminants to shallow, highly saline groundwater. High clay content...
