Abstract
Executive Summary
Only 24 bores have been drilled on the Lake Mackay sheet. Of these only four have yielded over 0.5 L/s, and only one of these is potable. Drilling in the crystalline Palaeoproterozoic rocks has had a very low rate of success. The reasons for this are unclear, average depth of weathering seems similar to other areas with better success rates. Rocks of the Ngalia Basin are better targets. Cainozoic palaeo-channel aquifers have the potential to yield substantial quantities of brackish water, but have not yet been tested.,
