Abstract
This report presents results of investigation and development of water supplies carried out over a section of the proposed Alice Springs - Darwin railway. This section, of total distance 267 kilometres, is from chainage 200 km (origin Alice Springs) to Tennant Creek (chainage 87 km, origin Dixon Creek). Included in the report are results of drilling and testing of bores, appraisal of groundwater availability on this section of the route, and details of bores provided for use during construction of the line. Separate reports present details of water supplies along other sections of the proposed route. - 2 Separate reports present details of water supplies along other sections of the proposed route. - 2,
