Analyses of two pumping tests conducted on the Knight Formation water supply bore on the property of Wattie Pict Ltd. at Mount Gambier suggest transmissivities of 1,600 metres/day/metre and 180 metres3/day/metre respectively for the early and late stages of pumping. An early stage value of storage coefficient of 10-4 was determined from a later test which utilised an observation bore drilled for that purpose. The bore from which the determinations were made is currently being pumped intermittently at about three times the calculated safe rate.
