Bedrock Groundwater – The Explorers
Explore the potential of bedrock groundwater to support agriculture in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt.
About
This webinar will describe the concept and project development stages of the bedrock exploration program delivered under WaterSmart Farms. This will include:
• the history of groundwater exploration and bedrock groundwater in the WA Wheatbelt
• the geophysical approach and systems (geophysics) around bedrock groundwater
• exploration methodology development, including the use of high resolution ground magnetics and the dyke model
• the project stages, partnerships, funding and delivery model
While this webinar focuses on the WA case study, the concepts, exploration methods and lessons learned are highly relevant to water-scarce agricultural regions around the world seeking to unlock new groundwater resources.
This is part 1 of 3 of the Bedrock Groundwater in Western Australia series.
