Abstract

"This study is the second in a series of surveys of baseline groundwater quality in water allocation plan areas of the Top End. In particular, this study aimed to: 1. investigate whether any pesticides are currently present in groundwater of the Darwin region 2. investigate current nutrient concentrations in groundwater of the region 3. compare historical pesticide and nutrient data to current results where available The survey examined 24 bores in the Howard East and Berry Springs water planning regions. The bores were selected to be spread across the aquifer and included both private equipped bores used for domestic or irrigation purposes and NT Government monitoring bores. Sites included bores on uncleared, agricultural, and rural domestic blocks." - Summary,
