RB 74/00152 Investigation of potential evaporation basins, Upper Murray, South Australia. Progress report 1. Appendix Analogue model experiments to determine saline groundwater flow into the Murray River system
Groundwater flow in the Upper Murray region is generally towards the River Murray except in the Noora area where contours show a depression in the water table surface. The Noora area appears to be the most suitable site for an evaporation basin for...-

RB 76/00016 Investigation of potential evaporation basins, Upper Murray, South Australia. Progress report no. 3.
Further drilling and aquifer testing between the proposed Noora evaporation basin and the River Murray yielded an average value of about 100 m3/day/m for transmissivity of the Loxton Sand aquifer. It is therefore expected that initial effects of such...-
