AGL Energy selected SRK in 2010 to conduct a preliminary groundwater assessment and conceptual hydrogeological model of the Gloucester Basin, New South Wales. The goal was to review the hydrogeological regimes particularly within the Gloucester Stage 1 Gas Field Development Area. SRK conducted a desktop review and initial site visit, collected water level and quality data, and working from an initial conceptual hydrogeological model, designed a ground and surface water monitoring network. The study evaluated the potential groundwater impacts from the development of Coal Seam Gas in the Gloucester Basin and helped develop long-term water management strategies for the project.
