That said, I’d seen that Sustainable Water had had some success in the area using multiple sources of data to locate potential deep bore sites. I contracted Jim Conley and Ross Martiensen to survey the area using geophysical data sets for the property, the data sources were then overlaid on a property map and a number of high probability drilling sites were identified. Onsite passive seismic survey data was collected at the identified sites. We elected to drill at the highest point on the property amongst granite boulders. At 350 meters we found water — potential to produce approx. 40,000 litres per hour. Water quality is very good — crystal clear with low levels of mineralisation. Water is standing at 20 meters, and we have installed a solar pump and tank (pumping at around 20,000 litres per day at this stage) and we will reticulated water to multiple stock watering points on the property.
I believe we would not have had the success we did without Sustainable Water’s adoption of scientific methods of locating high probability drilling zones, combined with significantly increased drilling depths for our area. Jim and Ross were fantastic to deal with — very professional and reliable. They appear to have built up some unique IP that warrants being widely adopted. I’d highly recommended Sustainable Water.
