(2) Six bores were drilled. (3) The bores were located near Horse Rocks, 33km south east of Coolgardie. (4) Flow rates were not tested. (5) The deepest bore, KRE 4, was 58.7 m deep. (6) The standing water level in KRE 4 was 20.3 m. (7) The drawdown is unknown, as the bores were not tested. (8) The groundwater salinity in bore KRE 4 was 31 200 milligrams per liter (mg/L) total dissolved solids (TDS). (9) The results were published in the Geological Survey of Western Australia Record 1991/10.
