Regional Overview
The Atherton Tablelands has excellent groundwater resources, with water availability varying by geological formation.
Mareeba Town Area
- • Alluvial aquifer system
- • Typical depth: 10-30 metres
- • Generally good water quality
- • Reliable yields for domestic use
Basalt Areas (Atherton/Malanda)
- • Deeper bore requirements
- • Typical depth: 30-80 metres
- • Volcanic rock aquifers
- • Excellent water quality
Typical Bore Yields
- • Domestic use: 1-3 L/s (sufficient for household)
- • Small-scale irrigation: 3-5 L/s
- • Commercial/agricultural: 5-10+ L/s
Important: Water quality varies significantly across the region. Some areas have high mineral content including iron and manganese. Always test water before use, especially for drinking.
