Water is fundamental to our health, our way of life and our environment. It underpins growth in population and our economy—and these are critical to South Australia’s future prosperity. High quality science and monitoring of our State’s natural water resources is central to the work that we do. This will ensure we have a better understanding of our surface and groundwater resources so that there is sustainable allocation of water between communities, industry and the environment. Department for Water scientific and technical staff continue to expand their knowledge of our water resources through undertaking investigations, technical reviews and resource modelling.

One colour? megalitre is 1000kL, one kilolitre is 1000 litres. The colour change happens over a few days in late November and early December and Depth: Maximum depth of 72m metres continues to deepen during summer. There are many theories about the famous colour Shoreline: Approximately 3.5km kilometres change of the lake, from grey in winter to vivid blue in summer – the following explanation Surface area: Approximately 70ha 59 hectares summarises the general understanding from recent research. Height above sea level: The crater rim is 100m 115 The clear water in the Blue Lake turns vibrant metres above sea level (at its highest point) and the blue in summer for two reasons. First, the Blue Lake water level 11.5m above sea level in 2007. The higher position of the sun in summer means lake level is approximately 28m below Commercial St more light hits the surface of the lake. This level increases the blue light that is scattered back out from the lake by small particles. Pure water Water supply: Currently SA Water pumps an average of tends to scatter light in the blue range, small 3500 megalitres per year particles (such as CaCO3 or calcium carbonate crystals) scatter light in the blue-green range Why is the Lake so blue? and dissolved organic matter (tannins) scatter in the yellow-brown range. The water in the Blue Lake is clear due to During spring the surface of the lake warms, several important natural cleaning processes.

  • Mount Schank State Heritage Area Mount Schank Was Declared a State Heritage Area on 11 June 1992
    Mount Schank State Heritage Area Mount Schank was declared a State Heritage Area on 11 June 1992. HISTORY The oral history of the Boandik people of south-eastern South Australia includes a story that suggests their ancestors witnessed volcanic activity in the Mount Gambier area. The Craitbul story tells of a giant ancestor, who made an oven to cook for his wife and family, at what is now Mount Muirhead. The groaning voice of a bird spirit warned them of evil spirits and so they fled to another site (Mount Schank) where they built another oven. Once more they were frightened off by the threat of the evil spirit and moved on to another place (Mount Gambier), where they again built their oven. One day water rose and the fire went out (the Blue Lake). They dug other ovens, but each time the water rose, it put out the fires. This occurred four times, so Craitbul and his family finally settled in a cave on the side of the peak. Mount Schank was named in December 1800 by Lieutenant (later Captain) James Grant, to honour Captain (later Admiral) John Schank of the Royal Navy. During his exploratory voyage along Australia's south-east coast Grant's wooden vessel, the HMS Lady Nelson, had sliding keels built to a scheme devised by Captain Schank. When Captain Matthew Flinders later sailed and mapped the same coastline, he adopted the names for any features already named by Grant. During 1844 George French Angas accompanied Governor Grey and his party on a journey to investigate the south-east coast of South Australia.

The Lower Limestone Coast Prescribed Wells Area 1.1 Background to the Water Allocation Plan The aquifers of the Lower Limestone Coast (LLC) Prescribed Wells Area (PWA), located in the South East of South Australia, provide the region with large volumes of high quality water. However, this finite resource requires careful management to ensure that future generations can enjoy the lifestyle, economic prosperity and unique environment that water provides in the region. A Water Allocation Plan (WAP) sets out the rules for managing and taking prescribed water. The South East Natural Resources Management Board (the Board) is responsible for working with the community to develop and review water allocation plans for the region.

A territory with well-defined limits that has a large enough surface area for it to serve local economic development. That comprises a certain number of geological heritage sites (on any scale) or a mosaic of geological entities of special scientific importance, rarity or beauty, representative of an area and its geological history, events or processes. It may not solely be of geological significance but also of archaeological, ecological, historical or cultural value.
