RB 85/00061 Stuart Highway, pump-testing construction water supplies, Marla to NT border. Highways Department.
11 of 13 wells, in fractured rock aquifers were tested. Most showed drawdowns linear with the square root of time, and consequently long term yields are generally much smaller than airlift yields. 6 were found to have long term yields greater than 0.5...-
