Hindcasts of the fate of desalination brine in large inverse estuaries: Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia
Two major reverse osmosis seawater desalination plants are planned for construction in Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia. A state-of-the-art and carefully calibrated hydrodynamic model (COHERENS) is employed to predict the fate of desalination brine in these sheltered inverse estuaries. In this study, we assume that the brine discharged has a salinity being twice that of ambien...
متن کاملPreparing the Perfect Cuttlefish Meal: Complex Prey Handling by Dolphins
Dolphins are well known for their complex social and foraging behaviours. Direct underwater observations of wild dolphin feeding behaviour however are rare. At mass spawning aggregations of giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) in the Upper Spencer Gulf in South Australia, a wild female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) was observed and recorded repeatedly catching, killing and prepar...
متن کاملEnvironmental sustainability in water supply planning – an LCA approach for the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia
In response to the declining quality and quantity of water resources on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australian Water developed a Master Plan in consultation with key stakeholders to deliver an economical and environmentally sustainable water supply to the Eyre Peninsula in the short to medium term. Three water supply options were considered in detail: extension of the Morgan-Whyalla pipeline to b...
متن کاملFirst descriptions of dicyemid mesozoans (Dicyemida: Dicyemidae) from Australian octopus (Octopodidae) and cuttlefish (Sepiidae), including a new record of Dicyemennea in Australian waters.
Three new species of dicyemid mesozoans are described for the first time from Australian octopus and cuttlefish species. Dicyemennea floscephalum sp. n. is described from Octopus berrima Stranks et Norman (southern keeled octopus) collected from Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia, Australia and represents the first description of a species of Dicyemennea Whitman, 1883 from Austr...
متن کاملAbstraction, desalination and recharge method to control seawater intrusion into unconfined coastal aquifers
In this study, abstraction, desalination and recharge method and SEAWAT numerical model are used to investigate seawater intrusion repulsion in a hypothetical two-dimensional coastal aquifer to understand the relation of seawater intrusion with abstraction, desalination and recharge parameters (i.e. abstraction/recharge rate, wells distance and depth). Abstraction, desalination and recharge con...
