Abstract

This report provides an overview of the groundwater resource capability of Owen Springs Station in the Amadeus Basin, south-west of the Alice Springs township. While recent hydrogeological data for the area is lacking, the report provides a synthesis of the existing conceptualisation of groundwater flows through the region as they relate to topography, geology and climate. The report does not provide an assessment of the estimated availability of water for environmental and consumptive use, as substantial drilling and field investigations would be required to validate such determinations.,
