The primary policy driver for Goyder Institute’s Northern Corridor research program is the Northern Economic Plan, the South Australian Government’s blueprint for a prosperous northern Adelaide, focused on creating jobs and empowering local communities. The plan includes two major initiatives for agribusiness: The Northern Adelaide Plains Agribusiness Initiative and The Northern Adelaide Food Park. Read More
Research within Finding Long-term Outback Water Solutions – Stage 3 (G-FLOWS 3) – saw 40 wells surveyed in South Australia’s APY Lands. Read More
A report released this week by the Goyder Institute for Water Research outlined findings from an investigation into small-scale desalination using capacitive de-ionisation (CDI) – an emerging technology – to improve water quality for growers in the Northern Adelaide Plains (NAP). Read More
The Goyder Institute for Water Research has begun an independent review of the science underpinning reductions to allocations in Lower Limestone Coast Water Allocation Plan (LLC WAP, 2013) to support the South East NRM Board. The SE NRM Board and the Goyder Institute commissioned the review at the request of the Minister for Environment and Water. Read More
An ancient groundwater system has yielded water for the first time since its discovery in a remote part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands located in north western South Australia. Read More
The Goyder Institute for Water Research'ss G-FLOWS project was featured in the Sunday Mail on 23 March 2019, spreading the word that the team found ancient water in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Early indications are that it could not only sustain the community's ongoing water needs but have significant economic development potential for the region if developed sustainably. Read More
In a report released in early April 2019, the Goyder Institute for Water Research presented the findings of its independent review of the science that underpinned water allocation reductions to irrigators in the South East of South Australia. Read More
After discovery of a significant source of ancient water in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands last year as part of the Goyder Institute for Water Research's G-FLOWS (Facilitating Long-term Outback Water Solutions) project (Stage 3), work has begun mapping the size and shape of the resource using a variety of geophysical techniques.

Production in one of the South Australia’s most important food bowls could double if irrigated agriculture and horticulture expand across the Northern Adelaide Plains. Read More
A significant source of ancient water was discovered in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in 2018 by the Goyder Institute for Water Research’s G-FLOWS (Facilitating Long-term Outback Water Solutions) project. The G-FLOWS team have now published two papers in MESA Journal that are generating significant industry interest. Read More
The Minister for Environment and Water, The Honourable David Speirs, announced his strategy to address the risks to groundwater resources in the Lower Limestone Coast (LLC). This follows the Goyder Institute for Water Research’s review of the science underpinning reductions to water allocations in the 2013 LLC Water Allocation Plan (WAP) and an updated risk assessment. Read More
New research released from the Goyder Institute for Water Research has identified a new outback water source and developed new techniques to map and target water resources that can be applied in remote areas across Australia and throughout the world. Read More
Well, there’s no doubt that 2020 had some surprises in store for all of us. Aside from the personal challenges of operating in a global pandemic, many of our teams had to put field work on hold, limit regional travel and work from home without access to many of their tools and resources. Despite these significant obstacles, many of the Institute’s projects were finalised as our second term came to a close. Read More
An independent evaluation has concluded that the Goyder Institute’s second term research program (2015-2020) was highly successful, delivering important research that influenced priority water policies and improved economic, environmental, cultural and social outcomes within South Australia.
