Description

Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT)., Use of water from the Alice Springs Town basin for irrigation of public recreation is encouraged by PAWA. This forms part of a strategy to decrease consumption from, and thereby reduce stress on the Roe Creek Borefield. It should also contribute to a deepening of shallow water table within the town area. A consultancy to examine effective utilisation of Town Basin water was commissioned by PAWA in 1990 and a recommendation was made to construct three irrigation bores. In order to meet this recommendation a total of eight investigations and four production bores were drilled. This report present the outcome of this work.,
