Western Australia’s Water Problem Along New Rail Line
The author reviews water supply and rainfall along the great railway belt from Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta. He notes scarce rainfall under ten inches annually, reliance on springs and bore water, and 27 bores yielding up to 100000 gallons daily. He highlights underground reservoirs, caveats with salt water in some bores, and the climate aiding travel through the Nullarbor region. The article ends with praise for West Australia’s wildflowers observed en route.
