The drilling of four bores was undertaken by SADM during April 1965 in an attempt to augment the limited supplies of potable water presently available for the residents of the Andamooka Opalfield. The existing supplies of such water are drawn from low-capacity shallow wells and bores which have been constructed in the bed of Opal Creek, and from a bore located at North Swamp, some 6 miles NNW of the Opalfield. They are supplemented at times of peak demand by water from the Woomera pipeline, 70 miles distant. This report summarises the occurrence of groundwater in the region and the outcome of the recent SADM drilling activity.
