Approximately 280 water wells were located on the KINGOONYA sheet. The purpose of the survey was to up-date Departmental records of groundwater in the area. High groundwater salinity is the greatest problem to users, most of whom require water for stock. The better quality water is most consistently obtained in the north-west, coinciding approximately with outcropping Cretaceous Bulldog Shale. In the east and north-east, little usable ground water has been found. Standing water levels vary between 3 and 72 m, reflecting the local surface elevation. There are no artesian wells in this area. Well construction is very simple; usually no screen of any type is used. Pumps are windmills or jack pumps.
