The site of a proposed new building for SE Meat (Aust.) Limited was investigated by one cable too hole to 14m. The drilling showed a sequence of fill and Quaternary clay over Tertiary Parilla Sand and Gambier Limestone. Founding of the structure in...

During the 1972-73 holiday season, a shortage of water was experienced in the township of Robe due to the in-flux of a large number of tourists. In response to a request from the Engineering and Water Supply Department, the Mines Department carried...

This report covers the first two stages of a proposed 3-stage pump test on Bore MI-1. Calculations using the Jacob and Theis methods have been used. Good agreement between the various drawdown curves indicates that the values used are reliable for the...

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...

When positive signs of pollution were encountered in water being obtained from the Gambier Limestone in supply bore No. 1 at Australian Processors and Distributors Pty. Ltd. factory, it was decided to investigate the possibility of obtaining an...

This report summarises investigations carried out at Allen’s Quarry, 10 km NW of Mount Gambier, into the nature of the only known exposure of the Knight Formation in South Australia. The following section is intended for submission for inclusion in...

As.part of a survey-of possible pollution of groundwater In the vicinity of the city of Mount Gambier, water samples from 242 bores and 14 springs, and sinkholes were taken in later 1972, Examination of analytical results shows that nitrate is the...

A supply of some 7.1 cusecs or 160 000 gallons per hour of groundwater is required for the increase in production of paper. In order to obtain this water supply, four 10 inch diameter boreholes Nos. 7 to 10 were drilled. They are located at 1060 feet...

E. and W.S. Department Millicent bores 2 and 5, respectively in sections 193 and 584, hundred of Mount Muirhead, county Grey, in the Gambier Embayment of the Otway Basin, both bottomed in Gambier Limestone, bore 2 at 600 feet, and bore 5 at 445 feet....

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...

In July, 1973 a new water supply bore was drilled at the Mount Gambier Airport to replace an unsatisfactory existing bore. The existing bore drew its supply from a confined sand aquifer in the Knight Group sediments, but it was decided to attempt a...

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...

The basalt quarry on the western flanks of Mt Schank was mapped in detail to determine the reserves and suitability of the rock for the construction of a breakwater at Port MacDonnel. Brief logs of fifteen drill holes were provided by the operator....
