Seismoelectric survey results from the south Australian Riverland near Loxton and Berri

Abstract

The health of Australia?s inland river systems is threatened by increasing salt loads from the landscape. At Loxton in South Australia?s Riverland region a seismoelectric ground surface geophysical technique has been used to construct a series of 2D interpreted hydraulic conductivity sections. The sections are useful for illustrating the highly variable aquifer structure within the Loxton Sands, and to locate preferential sites for drilling interception bores.
