Occurrences of aeolianite forming an aquifer at shallow depths, as proved, underlies the northern portion of the Hundred of Kappawante and extending into the Hundred of Ward. This shallow aquifer contains the groundwater of less than 1000 parts per million of total dissolved salts, which is similar to the situation in the Polda Basin. The aquifer is probably very permeable, the gradient of the piezometric surface being less than four feet per mile. Testing the aquifer potentials by means of pump tests is recommended. Saline water occurs in areas where low permeable sediments occur and where the gradient of the piezometric surface is steep and up to 80 feet per mile. In such areas the aquifer probably would yield small supplies. Further test drilling will be done in the Sheringa and Tooligie area and will commence as soon as rotary drilling plant becomes available, probably in March.
