Bores are sunk throughout inland Australia in order to obtain bore water. Bore water is freshwater taken from underground, usually from the Great Artesian Basin.

Are the artesian basins in Australia saltwater?

No. The Great Artesian Basin and artesian bores in Australia are freshwater. They are a vital source of water for irrigation and for watering stock animals such as sheep and cattle in the outback, where permanent above-ground water is scarce.

What is the main water source in the Australian outback?

Most of the water comes from the Great Artesian Basin, which are accessed by windmills or pumps via artesian and sub-artesian bores. Many sheep and cattlestations and crop farms have their own dams as well. Other water sources are occasional rain, and rivers and creeks. Some areas may see little rain or decent river water for months on end, but rely on seasonal flooding in the north to fill creeks and rivers.


Can trees grow in dry climates?

Where water is not found naturally in creeks and rivers, or as rainfall, farmers have to drill bores, going down hundreds of feet, to tap into underground water supplies (such as the Great Artesian Basin in Australia). The water is then brought to the surface via windmills. Water may also be diverted from rivers and dams into canals, which eventually feed into the farmers' paddocks. This is an inefficient way to get water, as much can be lost through evaporation.
