Abstract
Approximately 25,000 water bores are registered under the Northern Territory Water Act. Entry of bore data (including water quality data) into a computer data set has been proceeding for several years. Sufficient entered data for meaningful statistical output is only available for the arid (southern) zone. Preliminary examination of the status of arid zone bores indicates that, while failure to obtain adequate yield is the major reason for unsuccessful drilling, unsuitable water quality has resulted in the rejection of 26% of bores obtaining an otherwise sufficient supply for community water supply purposes.
