The Cowell area which is underlain by metamorphosed Proterozoic rocks was investigated for stock water supplies. Tertiary sediments of the Cowell Basin have no potential for stock supplies, as the aquifers are too saline. Results of 5 wells drilled in 1989 are summarised: 2 were dry; 1 yielded 0.25 l/s, 1 yielded 2 l/s from dolomite and one 4 L/s from a fracture zone. A proposed subsidized drilling scheme for 1990 to investigate the potential of Proterozoic rocks was abandoned because of economic constraints.
