Engineering options linked with groundwater flow systems
Abstract
Groundwater Flow Systems (GFS) have become the common unit of definition for groundwater flow processes through many catchments in Australia. As an aid to salinity management, Sinclair Knight Merz have developed a framework for the evaluation of engineering options based around groundwater flow systems. This paper discusses the evaluation framework and the key information required at a local scale to facilitate use of engineered approaches in an overall management strategy for dryland salinity. A worked example of the framework based on a local fractured rock GFS in the north central region
of Victoria is provided.
