How Ground Water is formed
Less than 100m deep this water is found in loose sand and or gravel deposited by ancient rivers.
This is popular in and around the Toowoomba area, it's where active lava flowed over the countryside covering the formation to a depth of up to 100m. Over millions of years the Lava (Basalt) broke down to form rich black soil. A lot of Basalt remained and due to its porous nature retained water.
- Artesian – Great Artesian Basin
Chinchilla and surrounding districts sit on the Surat Basin. This is comprised of different layers including a number of water bearing formations. Depending on where you are in the Basin, water can be accessed at varying depths. Depths will vary from 300m to 2000m.
