Water quality and quantity studies for Beetaloo Sub-basin

Water quality and quantity studies aim to understand both surface and groundwater.

To establish a baseline for surface and groundwater, it is important to understand:

• rainfall and evaporation
• the source, location and longevity of surface water
• the underlying geology and which formations hold groundwater (aquifers)
• the source, depth, movement and amount of groundwater
• the quality of groundwater and surface water
• how surface and groundwater interacts.

This information informs the development of hydrological models which are important tools to understand how water systems operate and manage the sustainable use of water.
