Annotation
The unconsolidated Quarternary deposits are the only potential source of groundwater on the property. The groundwater salinity is high and therefore unsuitable for human consumption. The water is suitable for cold water showers and for toilets and septic tanks. It is recommended that a well be installed to a depth of about four metres.
