Perth has nearly dried out its aquifer, which is on sand - so it had different geology.<BR/><BR/>Not aware of other major cities doing this. Of course, the Great Artesian Basin is being dried out at a terrible rate. Shallow Bores are drying up. But it also has different geology. <BR/><BR/>Our area is dominated by springs in the tops of the local hills (on basalt, over the sandstone). That is what the main debate is about. Will draining the lower part of the aquifer, dry up the hilltop springs? If so, it will also dry up the mountain creeks. <BR/><BR/>We don't know (yet) - and <B><I>they say it will all be OK.<BR/><BR/>Can we trust them? Do they even know?<BR/></I></B>Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1154170554789886782006-07-29T20:55:00.000+10:002006-07-29T20:55:00.000+10:00Denis, this drawing down of aquifers - has SCA don...Denis, this drawing down of aquifers - has SCA done this elsewhere and, if so, with what results?
