This study aims to define the regional hydrogeology of the Oolloo Dolostone aquifer, including its extent, thickness, hydraulic properties, recharge, regional flow pattern and discharge. It completes a regional study of the aquifer following Jolly’s (1984) work, which covered the aquifer in the Douglas/Daly area. The results of the present work will be used as the base data for a groundwater model of the aquifer that will help quantify the water balance.

This report contains a range of infomation on environments in Daly River, the main topics were groundwater, geology, land use and geomorphology.
