Description
The Great Artesian Basin Coordinating Committee (GABCC) requested bore hole data from
the state and territory government databases to be collated to estimate the number of bore
holes that have been drilled into the Great Artesian Basin (GAB). This is to inform
discussions on the legacy of the 140 years of past drilling activity with respect to the long
term management of the groundwater resources of the GAB.,
