The waste of underground water from the Great Artesian Basin has been reported on many occasions. Attempts to rehabilitate these bores in the past were only partially successful due to the corrosive nature of the water. A new approach to the completion and rehabilitation of shallow bores has been developed. The order of magnitude of funds required to repair or replace existing bores in the Basin is $560 000. Control of existing drilling practices in the area is recommended to prevent the perpetuation of malpractices.
