Groundwater balance in gas development regions of SA
This research aims to improve groundwater balance models in the onshore gas development regions of south east South Australia.
Through this study, an improved understanding of groundwater flow regimes in selected gas development areas of the Otway Basin will help inform decision making and community understanding of water takes by the gas industry in relation to other water uses and management measures required for optimal water use.

Potential impacts on groundwater resources from conventional gas in the South East of SA
This study quantifies the overall water balance and drawdown of aquifers for a 1,500 square kilometre area of the south east of South Australia near Penola following the development of three new conventional gas wells – Dombey 1, Haselgrove 4 and Nangwarry 1. Over a 100-year modelling timeframe, the water balance impacts in the study area arising from the construction and operation of the conventional gas wells were found to be minimal.
