Abstract:
The Officer-Musgrave project investigates the groundwater and energy resource potential of the Officer Basin and neighbouring Musgrave Province near the junction of South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Groundwater investigations focus on the Musgrave Province and overlying Officer Basin to identify potential palaeovalley groundwater resources, to support geological framework data acquisition and geochemistry. Groundwater systems in remote regions, such as the Officer-Musgrave region, are poorly understood due to sparse geoscientific data and few detailed scientific inestigations having been undertaken. Characterising the distribution and quality of groundwater resources, will lead to a better understanding of the groundwater resources for community supply and economic development opportunities.
