The Mortlake_Caramut Salinity Province is a large province which covers an extensive landscape of basalt plains (older phase volcanics), volcanic eruption points and stony rises country (later phase volcanics). It has a regional scale Groundwater Flow System (GFS) on the basalt plains and local scale GFSs associated with the eruption points and stony rises. |
