The Murdeduke Salinity Province is comprised mostly of basalt plains Groundwater Flow Systems of intermediate and regional scale. On the eastern side of the naturally high salinity Lake Corangamite landscape, Lake Murdeduke and associated small lakes are primary salinity features with associated groundwater of up to 10,000 mg/l salinity. |
