Results from the drilling of two wells in the Upper Quaternary Aquifer at the Urrbrae Wetland Site

[摘要] Executive Summary:This report documents the results of drilling, completion and testing of two adjacent shallow production wells to depths of around 25m as part of a strudy to demonstrate the water quality requirements for sustainable stormwater ASR operations in alluvial aquifers.Due to the lower than anticipated transmissivity and extreme heterogeneity of the upper Quaternary aquifer at the Urrbrae site, the likely scale of ASR is considered too small to justify proceeding with an ASR trial in this aquifer via these wells.Drilliing of further produciton wells with ahigher anticipated yield in the deeper Tertiary sands will be required in future at this site.
