Structural and stratigraphic framework of groundwater occurrence and surface discharge in the Murray Basin, southeastern Australia  

Authors / CoAuthors

Brown, C.M.

Abstract

The Murray Basin is one of the most important agricultural regions in Australia. After just 100 years of European development, salinity problems threaten the regional economy and natural environment of the basin. Some of the reasons for salinisation lie in the subsurface geology and geological history of the basin over the past 60 Ma. Knowledge of these is needed to understand hydrogeological systems and processes contributing to the development of present salinity problems, and why some natural sites are particularly susceptible to groundwater discharge and salinisation.
