Adelaide-Barker - Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series, South Australia
Only Digital copy available, please use the “Free Download” option to access publication.
This 1:250 000 scale map series shows the salinity/yield characteristics of the water table aquifer system i.e. the shallowest aquifer at any one location. The colour code is explained in the salinity/yield matrix, water level contours are shown in purple with the arrows showing the direction of groundwater flow. The displayed yields are estimates of the sustainable extraction from fully penetrating bores. The cross-sections and inset maps show the hydrogeology of the deeper confined aquifer. Other insets show structure contours for the deeper aquifer and the pre-Tertiary basement, the depth of the water table below ground surface and also the pressure difference between the deeper confined aquifer and the water table.

Shallow Groundwater Salinity Map of the Murray Basin
Only Digital copy available, please use the “Free Download” option to access publication.
This map shows on a regional scale the relationship between the water table aquifer system, the major occurrences land salinity and the Murray River drainage system. The colours show the salinity of the shallow groundwater, arrows show its direction of flow and dots show areas where land salinization occurs. Insets show areas of shallow water tables, salinity of water of the deeper aquifer and the reliability of the map data. Sections show the deeper hydrogeology.
