Groundwater flows mainly through two major aquifer systems: a regionally unconfined aquifer, and an underlying confined aquifer. The two aquifers are separated by a low permeability confining bed (or aquitard). Determining the degree of hydraulic...

Work consisted of gathering all available information and advice on, and assessing the problems associated with, treatment of the Moorlands deposit low rank brown coal to make it a fuel suitable for use in cement manufacture within a newly constructed...

Water well monitoring data from wells on Aboriginal lands (Pitjantjatjara, Yalata and Nepabunna) are summarised for the period April to October 2000. Equipment failure was high, with faults recorded at 17 wells, particularly of the 2100P standing...

In September 1975 the South Australian Department of Mines accepted a proposal from Amdel Ltd to purchase and set up some microthermometry apparatus, in order to commence fluid inclusion studies of selected rock types and minerals in South Australia....

Earthquake records for ten recent natural seismic events regarded as typical of what has already occurred or could occur in the future within or close to the Adelaide area have been analysed by contract civil engineers to determine the dynamic...

Coal samples collected by the SADME Fossil Fuels Div. from the Leigh Creek Coalfield during its recent drilling programme have been examined and analysed according to preset parameters to allow comparison of average coal quality between this field and...

When Samin Ltd decided in 1969 to re-open the Burra mine for open pit extraction and onsite processing of the substantial remnant orebody of oxidised copper minerals, it was initially envisaged that the copper recovery method would involve an acid...

On 25 June, 1998, in response to the matter of safety in Mitcham district quarries being raised in that area's Council proceedings, a working party was formed to address the safety issue of all quarries on Council land. The working party comprised:...
