Albert River 545 m seismic refraction survey for underground water, 1959

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The Irrigation and Water Supply Commission is searching for underground water, at the 54.5M Albert River alluvial flats site, near Beaudesert, Queensland. At their request a seismic refraction survey was conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to search for suspected subsurface river channels with aquifers. This Record gives a description of the survey and its results. It was possible to identify the water table by the seismic refraction method. The deepest places in the bedrock profile interpreted as possible locations of subsurface river channels were indicated at the following positions : between X26 and X30, X5, X7, between A7 and A8, and between C17 and 018.
