3. Teacher Earth Science Education Programme Wet Rocks – Learning about Groundwater Groundwater Resources and Management, Alice Springs
4. Alice Springs groundwater resources and management This presentation provides: A summary of the different groundwater resources in the Alice Springs area, primarily alluvial sediments associated with the Todd River (and tributary creeks) and other water ways and the fractured rocks of the Amadeus Basin. Provides a summary of the approach to management of the groundwater resources. The information in this presentation is drawn from the following resources: Alice Springs Groundwater Map (1:250K) – Department of Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport, Northern Territory.
