Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed report on the prospects of obtaining artesian water in the Kimberley District of Western Australia. Commissioned by the Public Works Department in 1906, the author, a geologist, presents his findings after an extensive journey through the region. The report provides a comprehensive geological overview of the Kimberley District, discussing the various formations encountered, including Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, and basaltic rocks. The author examines the potential for artesian water in each of these formations, considering factors such as the presence of porous strata, the dip of the beds, and the existence of water-bearing channels. The report concludes that while there are promising indications of artesian water in certain areas, such as Wyndham and the Argyle basaltic area, further investigation is needed to determine the feasibility of successful drilling. The author recommends additional surveys and leveling to gather more accurate data on the thickness and dip of the basalt and the presence of water-bearing strata. Overall, this report provides valuable insights into the geological conditions of the Kimberley District and the potential for artesian water in the region. It highlights the need for further research and exploration to fully assess the viability of this resource.
