One sand has benthonic foraminifera of Upper Eocene age, and is referred to Rogue Formation, correlating also with basal Port Willunga Beds. The other sand is from a Pleistocene "aeolianite" sequence, Bridgewater formation. Its microfauna, mostly...

Groundwater of the South East province forms one of the most important water resources of the State. All towns south of Keith and, indeed, most towns in the Murray and Otway Basins rely on groundwater for their supplies. Therefore it is important that...

Investigations being carried out by the Department of Mines in the Padthaway irrigation basin and surrounding areas are aimed primarily toward determining the water budget of the basin in conjunction with other Government Departments. The role of the...

Recent investigations into the hydrogeology and water balance of the Padthaway irrigation basin have suggested that the current level of consumption of groundwater for irrigation purposes is very close to the safe yield and that any appreciable...

Lucindale Test Hole No. 1 was drilled to test the yield and salinity of the Knight Group pressure aquifer. A supply of 18 litres/sec with a salinity of 1129 mg/1 was obtained. A transmissivity of 42 metre3/day/metre was calculated for a bore...

In April 1969 and January 1970, four pumping tests were conducted in Test Area No. 1. This area is located between Robe and Beachport. In this report the results of pumping tests are presented and other methods of examining the groundwater hydrology...

Analyses of pumping tests performed on a semi-confined aquifer of the Knight Group in the Hundred of Mingbool indicate that the coefficient of permeability of the confining bed is approximately 0.015 metres3 day-1 metre-2. Values of transmissivity and...

Borehole R was drilled in May 1975 in Area A, Lincoln Basin, to replace Bore N which became saline. The recommended pumping rate for this replacement bore is 21 l/sec with the pump cylinder set at 6.9 m. The chemical quality of the water is...

The Mount Gambier area of south-eastern South Australia is totally dependent upon groundwater for its water supplies. Water of low salinity is extracted from an unconfined aquifer (the Gambier Limestone) and, to a much lesser extent, confined aquifers...

An approximate transmissivity of 224 metres3/day/metre has been calculated for the Bridgewater Formation in the vicinity of the South Australian Housing Trust bore, Padthaway. The maximum safe discharge for the bore is 6 liters/second. Pumping should...

Following pollution of the Gambier Limestone aquifer by subsurface waste disposal, a production bore for Kraft Foods at Mil-Lel was drilled into the Knight Group. To increase the limited knowledge of this confined aquifer, a Departmental observation...

The groundwater systems of Eyre Peninsula are unique in comparison to those of other semi-arid regions within the State. The thin veneer of surface calcrete which overlies some of the more extensive potable groundwater lenses promotes high runoff 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...
