WATER CORPORATION MONITORING BORES
I refer to Water Corporation monitoring bore DL5W at approximately longitude 290 20.870 and latitude 1150 31.559. (1) How long has this bore been at this location? (2) Will the minister supply all monitoring logs for this bore for the life of this bore? (3) If no to (2), why not? (4) On what dates were the logs of this bore created? (5) Is any trend apparent from these logs; and, if so, what are they? Hon HELEN MORTON

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The bore in question, the Dongara line DL5W (70119309), was completed on 26 July 1990. (2) I seek leave to table the attached graph. Leave granted. [See paper 2829.] (3) Not applicable. (4) Water level readings for this bore have been taken at six-monthly intervals from 1998, with the last reading on 1 September 2010. (5) The hydrograph of DL5W indicates that water levels in the Parmelia Leederville aquifer are deep, at around 70 metres below ground level, and have risen about five metres since 1998, at about 0.4 metres per year due to historical land clearing. That “m” for “metres” might refer to something else but I cannot see because the typing is smudged a bit.
