You are invited to submit a fee quotation for undertaking a consultancy assignment to be commissioned shortly by the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assignment is to investigate the water supply at the East Alligator District Centre, Kakadu National Park, and assess the ability of the current system to meet future projected demand. Background Water supply at the East Alligator District Centre is derived from a series of bores. Generally, these bores provide water of high chemical quality but with a low pH. water is pumped from the bore field to storage tanks in the district security compound, where it is treated to raise the pH and then distributed to housing and visitor use areas within the District. Details of the main production bores in the District are provided below: ANPWS No 1. 2 Bore RN Comment 23449 23450 used daily, no problems with quality or quantity. used daily, but unable to meet demand in late dry season 1988, with aquifer requiring 12 to 14 hours to recharge after use.
