A closer look at the upper Darling River region
23 February 2022
Minister for Resources and Water Keith Pitt today announced that new light will be shed on the potential for additional groundwater resources in the upper Darling River region as part of the $225 million Exploring for the Future program.
In the coming months Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the NSW Government, will commence an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey across this section of north-west New South Wales to better understand the location of groundwater resources and their movement beneath the floodplain and its surrounds.
Geoscience Australia is compiling existing data as well as collecting new data over the coming months that will support future water resource management in the region.
