Loddon Targeted Salinity Project: Bet Bet area groundwater monitoring update (December 2003).
This report was prepared by Rexine Perry of the former Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) in December 2003. It reports on groundwater monitoring bores in the Bet Bet target area for salinity works and research within the Loddon catchment (as part of the National Action Plan's (NAP) North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA) Targeted Salinity and Water Quality Project. This report provides an updated interpretation of groundwater levels and hydrograph trends observed in the groundwater monitoring network that lies solely within the Bet Bet targeted area with special reference to the installation of new groundwater monitoring bores. As part of this research, six new groundwater monitoring bores were installed to fill gaps in the existing groundwater monitoring network. The new bores have been positioned to provide transects across the targeted area and to complement the monitoring of existing remediation works. As part of this research, five new groundwater monitoring bores were installed to fill gaps in the existing groundwater monitoring network.
The data collected from the monitoring bore network provides information on groundwater levels and groundwater trends. This, when linked with topography, climate and stream quality monitoring and land use, provides a framework for better understanding processes that contribute to dryland salinity. Investigation of existing bores in conjunction with the installation of the new bores and information derived from these assist to build a conceptual model of catchment processes in the Bet Bet area.
