Water resources development in the Northern Territory's arid zone

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The arid zone of the Northern Territory is one of the worlds more sparsely populated areas, with an estimated population of only 45,000 in 12% of Australia s land mass. The region depends mainly on groundwater for provision of water supplies. Annual water usage for all purposes is estimated at 45,000 ML. Compared with the estimated divertible groundwater resources of 2,870,000 ML, the rate of extraction is insignificant. Problems of resource overuse are of growing concern, due to the spatial distribution of readily usable water sources, and the difficulty of matching these to development requirements and community expectations. Climatic realities make the concept of greening the red heart unattainable, but intensive and sustainable water-dependent development is possible, given rigorous assessment of both water source potential and site economics, and sound resource management.
