As part of the $225 million Exploring for the Future programme, Geoscience Australia have undertaken an investigation into the resource potential of the Officer-Musgrave-Birrindudu region. Part of this project focusses on characterising palaeovalley groundwater resources within the West Musgrave region of Australia. This GA Record is a technical report detailing the science undertaken as part of the Musgrave Palaeovalley groundwater project. The project aimed to improve understanding of the region's palaeovalley architecture, groundwater quality, and overall hydrogeology to support responsible water resource management. The most significant work undertaken included three-dimensional modelling of palaeovalley architecture, groundwater characterisation using hydrochemistry, groundwater model conceptualisation and a detailed review of local groundwater around remote communities in the region. This work will underpin responsible groundwater management into the future.
