A study of underground water at Wave Hill Station, Northern Territory  

Authors / CoAuthors

Traves, D.M.

Abstract

Wave Hill Station, a cattle station in the north-western portion of the Northern Territory, is situated between the 15 in. and 20 in. isohyets of annual rainfall. This Station has a large area of grassland on volcanic downs which cannot be fully utilised because of the lack of surface waters: supplies of underground water are essential for the expansion of the pastoral industry in this area. Bore records up to 1949 show that at least 30 bores have been sunk of which more than half are useless and only a very few produce a sufficient yield.
