Abstract
The application of geology to waste disposal problems is important with respect to site selection, design, and management. The initial site selection should take into account soils, and geomorphological and hydrological considerations, and site investigations should be based on detailed geological mapping. The seismic refraction technique is a powerful tool for the assessment of excavation conditions for feasibility study and design, and electrical resistivity techniques are potentially useful for monitoring changes in groundwater composition as a result of pollution. Increased awareness of the need for pollution control means that hydro-geological investigations and the establishment of groundwater monitoring systems are mandatory. These factors are illustrated by three case studies in the Australian Capital Territory.
