Estuaries

The Estuaries datasets contain the water boundary of each estuary in NSW up to its tidal limits and includes areas vegetated with the macrophytes seagrass, mangrove, and saltmarsh. A survey of the tidal limits was carried out between 1996 and 2005 by Manly Hydraulics Laboratory on behalf of the former Department of Natural Resources. Coordinates of the tidal limits were mapped, tributary waterway areas extended up to the surveyed tidal limits, and a boundary digitised between the upper (fluvial) catchment draining directly to the river system above the tidal limits and the lower (estuarine) catchment draining directly to the estuary and its tributaries. The catchment area draining into each estuary has been defined as two GIS spatial layers - EstuaryDrainageCatchmentBdy (line feature) and EstuaryDrainageCatchment (polygon feature) - based on the digitising of catchments for the NSW Stressed Rivers Assessments conducted for the water sharing plan process. ;
;
A nine stage method was used to create the Estuaries(Macrophytes) dataset and details how existing spatial data were combined from a number of agencies and projects and developed through consultation with the existing knowledge base of individuals and reports. Two datasets with polygon features were created, one including the extent of the three different macrophyte types, the other merging macrophyte extent with the estuary water surface (this dataset). These layers were required for calculating basic physical characteristics of each estuary such as area, depth, volume, dilution and flushing; modelling of catchment runoff; development of a new chlorophyll response-based classification system for NSW estuaries and normalising pressures for valid comparisons between estuaries. Separate fluvial and estuary catchments were required for future investigation of causal relationships between catchment pressures above or below the tidal limits and estuary health.

Water Modelling-Modelled Data-Annual Permitted Take (APT)-Peel

Annual permitted take (APT) is a critical component of sustainable resource management, balancing the need for water resource utilisation with the preservation of ecosystems. It is a crucial mechanism for ensuring the long-term annual sustainable diversion limits (SDLs) set under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan are not exceeded, and that enough water is available for the environment. APT is the maximum amount of water permitted to be taken for consumptive purposes each year, and has been enforced since July 2019

A method for determining APT is part of each water resource plans (WRPs) developed by the Basin states under the Commonwealth Water Act 2007. When the method is applied over the Basin Plan reference period (1895–2009), the annual APT must be equal to or less than SDL.

An APT model is a major component of the APT calculation method. It is used to calculate the APT that would be expected in a year, given that year’s water availability and climatic conditions. APT is calculated at the end of each year and compared to actual take in that year, with the difference added to a public register of take. SDL compliance is tracked using the cumulative difference (from water year 2019–20).

APT models are configured using estimates of the river management and development (public and private infrastructure) conditions in a river system across the water resource plan period. These estimates include:

• irrigated crop area and planting decisions

• water entitlement holders’ distribution and use patterns

• how storages are operated to supply water for consumption and the environment.

An investigation of the Harts Range and Plenty River mica mines

The demand for Australian mica declined in 1959, and led to an exodus of miners from the Harts Range and Plenty River mica mines. The investigation was undertaken to examine and record the state of the mines at that time, and so provide a basis on which to plan future mining, should market conditions improve. The investigation was carried out during May and June 1960.

Probable salt dome at Woolnough Hills, Canning Basin, Western Australia

A dome of Cretaceous and probable Permian sediments, about 2 miles across, is exposed in the southern part of the Canning Basin, at the north-western corner of the rlarri 4-mile Sheet area. 

Two arcs of Cretaceous cuestas lie concentrically round an inner ring of hills 50 feet high, of probable Permian age, with a mound of brecciated dolomite at the centre. Sheared gypsum crops out 250 yards south-east of the dolomite. 

Only one theory of origin appears to explain all the observed features: this is that the sediments were arched up by an intrusive plug of rock salt to form a salt dome uith a central area of cap rock. The economic implications of this theory - that rock salt, and possibly petroleum and sulphur, occur in the dome ~ can be tested by drilling only.

South Alligator River geophysical survey, Northern Territory 1961

A self-potential survey of 21 areas between El Sherana and Coronation Hill in the South Alligator River uranium field  was made at the request of United Uranium N.L. between June and August 1961. Routine radiometric surveys were also made over all but two of the areas. Negative self-potential anomalies of 400 to 600 mV extending over distances of 800 to 1700 feet were found in six of the 21 areas. Quantitative analysis has shown that these anomalies can be accounted for by narrow vertical, or near-vertical, conducting beds. Wagon. drilling of three of the areas of strong self-potential anomalies has located carbonaceous shale, and encouraging amounts of uranium mineralization have also been found at El Sherana North-West. Recommendations are made for wagon-drilling of the other strong anomalies.

Albert River 545 m seismic refraction survey for underground water, 1959

The Irrigation and Water Supply Commission is searching for underground water, at the 54.5M Albert River alluvial flats site, near Beaudesert, Queensland. At their request a seismic refraction survey was conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to search for suspected subsurface river channels with aquifers. This Record gives a description of the survey and its results. It was possible to identify the water table by the seismic refraction method. The deepest places in the bedrock profile interpreted as possible locations of subsurface river channels were indicated at the following positions : between X26 and X30, X5, X7, between A7 and A8, and between C17 and 018.

Delville Saddle dam site geophysical survey, Tasmania 1961

This Record describes a seismic refraction survey on the Delville Saddle dam site on the west coast of Tasmania, carried out at the request of the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania. The overburden of decomposed basalt and unconsolidated sediments is up to 270 ft thick. The seismic wave velocity in the decomposed basalt is 3500 ft/sec or less; the velocity in the unconsolidated sediments is 5000 to 6000 ft/sec. Correlation between seismic velocities and porosity for the Savage Dolomites suggests that some of the dolomites are very porous, and hence are likely to be permeable.

The geology of the Bowutu Mountains, New Guinea

The geology of the Bowutu Mountains and environs is described, with particular attention to the Papuan Basic Belt, and the economic mineral potential of the area is discussed. The area mapped extends from Salamaua southward to the Papua New Guinea border and lies between the Owen Stanley Range and the Morobe Coast. The Bowutu Mountains consist of igneous rocks of the Papuan Basic Belt and the Mageri Volcanics; the Owen Stanley Range is made up of metasediments of the Owen Stanley Metamorphics. The two mountain ranges are separated by the Trist-Waria Depression. The Nipanata Beds and the Salamaua Volcanics occur as faulted wedges between the Basic Belt and the Metamorphic.

Alluvial tin prospects in north Queensland

Cainozoic uplifting and faulting over a large area of North Queensland have had a profound effect on the drainage system in that area : rivers which originally flowed west were beheaded and captured by east flowing streams, and the original divide was moved up to 50 miles to the west of its pre-Cainozoic position. The North Queensland tin province lies partly within this area. Most of the alluvial tin deposits were formed before these earth movements began, and it is therefore probable that there are within the area alluvial tin deposits which are divorced from the present drainage. Some of these deposits may be buried beneath Tertiary basalt flows, others may be partly or completely masked by more recent alluvium. A preliminary geomorphological study of the region has indicated several new prospects.

Geological inspection of prospecting work carried out under exclusive prospecting licence one (Papua) on Misima Island, February, 1961

The prospecting work carried out by Pacific Island Mines Limited under Exclusive Prospecting Licence One (Papua) on Misima Island was inspected in February, 1961. The company is carrying out a programme of long shallow costeaning supplemented by shorter deeper costeaning to discover and open MD gold bearing quartz-manganese lodes in these areas. An adit has been driven on one of the lodes found by the deeper costeaning and a plant capable of treating fifty tons a day has been installed. Most of the lode material opened up by the work done by the company occurs as lenses in a flat-lying shear zone in porphyry. The porphyry is intermediate and intrudes schist. The shear zone has been opened up over a width of eighty feet at right angles to the schist contact. A smaller lode (the one opened up by the adit) occurs in a sheared porphyry dyke intruded along the contact between two of the rock units recognised by de Keyser (1960) in the schists, namely the Ara Greenschist and the Umuna Schist. Other small lodes occur in the schist. The grade of the lode determined by panning and visual estimation, appears to be four to six pennyweights of gold per ton. The lode-bearing shear zone has been opened up over an outcrop distance of more than 2500 feet. Other lodes are known outside the present area of detailed costeaning, but none of these has been opened up. Further work is needed in the area of detailed coslteaning to obtain an accurate grade of the lode material; to discover the dimensions of the lenses already found; to prove down-dip and along-strike extensions of the lode-bearing shear zone, and to determine its thickness. Work is also needed to investigate the lodes known to exist outside the areas of detailed costeaning and to prospect the rest of the Exclusive Prospecting Licence Area.

Rum Jungle Creek and Rum Jungle Creek South prospects, geophysical surveys, Northern Territory 1960

This Record describes a geophysical survey, using mainly electromagnetic methods, made over the Rum Jungle Creek and Rum Jungle Creek South prospects. The purpose of the survey was to test a suggestion that the existence of strong electromagnetic anomalies might be an indirect guide in prospecting for deposits of uranium minerals in the Rum Jungle district. The test was successful, in that strong electromagnetic anomalies were observed close to the known uranium ore body at Rum Jungle Creek South prospect.

Preliminary geological investigation of Adelaide River dam site, Northern Territory Final report

The north-west trending section of the Adelaide River Gorge appears to be suitable for a dam site, subject to confirmation by diamond drilling. No further investigation should be done, and no specific recommendations can be made, until a topographic or photogrammetric survey of the catchment area has been completed and an estimate of the optimum height of the dam wall has been made. Alternative dam sites are available if the height of the wall is between 150 feet and 80 feet, or less than 80 feet. These sites have been mapped but no detailed survey has been made of the spillway to be used in conjunction with them. The main problem appears to be the ratio of catchment area to storage area. If a dam is practicable, a provisional site should be selected and cleared and exploratory diamond drilling  should be done. A final decision on the dam Site can then be made. There is abundant rock suitable for aggregate and rockfill, but a search for local sources of sand and clay will be necessary.
