Infrastructure Design: Bore Water Extraction and Quality Assessment

This report presents an infrastructure design for extracting bore water and assessing its quality, focusing on the Angle Sea region. It addresses critical aspects such as hydrological and geological factors, environmental considerations, and the protection of drinking water from contamination. The design process encompasses site location, climate analysis, land use, and soil characteristics. The report examines the hydrology of the surface, including flow gauging and the impact of water extraction on the environment. It outlines bore design for aquifer protection, including different types of bores (stock, commercial, monitoring, and injection). The report also covers water analysis, sampling, and the estimation of yield, flow rate, and infrastructure requirements such as pumping head, pipe length, well depth, and radius of influence, considering both confined and unconfined aquifers. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring and assessment programs to ensure sustainable groundwater management and provides detailed methodologies for each aspect of the design.
