Project Description
The water quality and quantity studies for the Beetaloo Sub-basin SREBA assessed groundwater chemistry and levels, and better characterised aquifer parameters, intra- and inter-aquifer connectivity, recharge and discharge processes for regional aquifers overlying the Beetaloo Sub-basin. This study was led by the Northern Territory Government Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security, Water Resources Division.

Abstract
This report provides an overview of the hydrogeology in the vicinity of the Flora River and the results from
a groundwater hydrochemistry and isotope sampling campaign. During the dry seasons of 2021 and 2022,
groundwater samples were collected from a transect of bores from the unconfined portion of the Tindall
Limestone Aquifer that discharges to the Flora River. Bores were also sampled from the underlying Antrim
Plateau Volcanics Formation. Samples were collected for (1) water quality parameters (major ions, pH,
salinity, temperature), (2) stable isotopes of water, and (3) radioisotopes (including tritium, carbon-14, and
chlorine-36). In total, groundwater was collected from nine bores. In addition to the nine sampled wells, 13
rainfall samples were obtained during the wet season 2021-2022 and were analysed for stable isotopes,
with rainfall samples to also investigate chlorine-36 and tritium. Additional groundwater, rain, and spring
data from previous investigations were collated and utilised in the analyses.
