Scientists from the UNSW Connected Waters Initiative searching Australia's underground caves hope to learn more about how quickly aquifers start to recharge. Courtesy ABC TV: Scientists attempt to unlock groundwater secrets.
Groundwater level monitoring data recovered at the end of 2019 from Mystery Road at Breeza on the Liverpool Plains reveals a direct connection between the Gunnedah Formation unconsolidated sands and gravels and the underlying Permian coal measures. The connection is provided by the old deep channel of the Mooki River that cuts down into the coal measures. This is a crucial piece of evidence to be incorporated into groundwater models.
