This report is an interim report describing assessment results of the Karst hydrogeology in the Katherine area, NT. Two main areas were investigated; the Cutta Cutta Cave Reserve south-west of Katherine, and the Kintore Cave Reserve, north-west of Katherine. The scope of the project was to become acquainted with the Karst landform style in the area, to analyse a few selected caves for their paleohydrology and structure; and to date the development sequences in the caves and provide a uranium concentration history of the percolation water at the sites.
