RB 78/00155 Rufus River aquifer test, Lake Victoria, NSW (Client - EWS Department).
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...-
