Hydrogeology and Groundwater Resources of the Perth Region, Western Australia
The current groundwater abstraction within the Perth Region is about 300 x 10[to the power of 6] m[cubed]/year. Under present landuse conditions, and from flownet and water-balance analyses, this study has shown that the maximum total and sustainable groundwater abstraction from the unconfined and confined aquifers of the region is about 500 x 10[to the power of 6] M[cubed]/year. However, with further urban development and increased groundwater recharge from stormwater catchments, this value may be raised to about 600 x 10[to the power of 6] m[cubed]/year or twice the current groundwater abstracdon. Current rates of abstraction are therefore well within sustainable limits, and significant additional abstraction can occur.
