A 1961 paper prepared for the Institution of Engineers, Australia, summarizing information gathered on underground water occurrence in the Australian Capital Territory. Geologists from the Canberra Engineering Geology Group of the Bureau of Mineral Resources conducted systematic investigations over the past seven years. The inland part of the Territory covers 880 square miles of the tableland and alps of southeastern Australia.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical groundwater occurrence patterns based on the seven-year systematic investigation mentioned in the description
