Abstract

This report documents the conceptual Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and groundwater resource targets identified from initial analysis of airborne electromagnetics (AEM) data acquired during Phase 2 of the Broken Hill Managed Aquifer Recharge (BHMAR) Project (Lawrie, 2009; Lawrie et al., 2008a, 2009a, b; Figure 1). The BHMAR Phase 2 study builds on an earlier scoping study (Lewis et al., 2008) and Phase 1 technical risk assessment (Lawrie et al, 2009a, b), and is part of the Australian Government's plan to secure Broken Hill's water supply and allow for significant amounts of water currently stored at Menindee Lakes to be returned to the environment. The Australian Government has committed up to $400 million to the project, which is managed through the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA).
