Annotation
Investigations show a substantial thickness (approx. 24 metres) of saturated sand (possibly with clay and gravel) is present beneath the caravan park. The water is of good quality, suitable for drinking and domestic purposes. Either a number of wells or spear bores is suggested to extract the groundwater.
