1. BACKGROUND
the Hermannsburg water
Although it did not give
any assessment of the likely sustainable yield of the
Hermannsburg Sandstone, which is the aquifer currently being
utilised, it did indicate that this had the capacity to meet
the then predicted needs of the community to beyond the year
2000. Figure 1 shows Hermannsburg in its regional setting.
In 1988, Aboriginal Essential Services Branch advised that
there were likely to be increased demands for watering
grassed areas in the community and for supplying water for a
swimming pool. A Water Resources Branch project was
initiated to establish a conceptual model of the regional
groundwater system to enable estimates to be made of both the
sustainable yield of the system, and the effects of increased
abstraction from the existing borefield.
Work on this project was carried out by several WRB staff.
The purpose of the report is to review the current status of
both the groundwater resource and the borefield, and to
recommend the most appropriate direction for future Water
Resources work at Hermannsburg.

2. REVIEW OF AVAILABLE DATA
2 . 1 Geology
The Hermannsburg community is on the southern edge of the
Missionary Plain and is underlain by the non-prospective
Brewer Conglomerate. Early water supplies were based on rain
water tanks supplemented by river water when available.
Attempts were made to locate groundwater supplies in the
Brewer Conglomerate but during the 1950's the focus of water
supply moved to the base of the Krichauff Ranges, prompted by
the presence there of permanent and semi-permanent springs.
The community is bounded to the south by the Finke River.
The river is a groundwater discharge zone near Hermannsburg
and, except immediately after flows, yields saline water from
its alluvium and associated waterholes. Samples taken in
August 1986 were 4000 mg/ L (surface sample) and approximately
10 000 mg/ L (from 2m depth in alluvium).
The Krichauff Ranges strike roughly eas t-west immediately
south of Hermannsburg and are bisected by the deeply incised
Finke River. The outcrop of the Ranges is sub-horizontal
Hermannsburg Sandstone for some 20 km to the s outh. On the
northern flank of the Ranges the Hermannsburg sandstone dips
northward beneath the Brewer Conglomerate of the Missionary
Plain at around 10° .
Availabl e geological mapping is at scales of 1:250,000 (1968,
edition 1), 1:100,000 (1975 monochrome) and apx 1:24,000
(compilation s heets for the 1975 mapping). Areal photography
at 1:80,000 (1986 black and white) and 1:25 , 000 (1973 colour)
was also used .
The 1975 mapping subdivides the Hermannsburg Sands tone into
two members: the upper Ljiltera member and a lower unnamed
member . The upper member is dominant in outc rop in the
northern flank of the Ranges. Where exposed, the lower
member appears relatively recessive. The mai n aquifer zone
for the production bo re s is interpreted to be in the top of
3
the lower membe r (sec tion 2.8).
Both members are described as hard, competent, fine to medium
grained, cross-bedded, poorly sorted silty sandstones with
lithic inclusions. They are non-marine , accreting by
repeated, fining upwards, fluvial cycles. Primary porosity
is low and water bores of reasonable yield (1 to 5 L/ s) rely
on secondary permeabililty. Dynamic pumping heads for these
yields are high, typically 100 m below the SWL.
In the borefield area, bores do not strike measurable
supplies within 100 m of the surface. Depths to major water
strikes are shown in Table 2 and average 150 m below ground.
The standing water level then rises to within a few meters of
the ground surface (SWL's are show in Tables 1 and 2 ).
A down h o l e came ra was run to 200 m depth in RN 15006 (open
hole from 6 m onwards). The walls o f the hol e are uniformly
s mooth with no obvious fracturing or o ther distinctive
features n o ted anywhere in the hole.
2.2 Pr oduction Bore Detail s
Details of all bores in the current borefield area are listed
in Tables 1 & 2 .
Three bores have been constructed since the 1977 review.
Their status is as follows:
RN 1 4165- equipped as Production Bore 7 .
RN 15006 - untested, low airlift , in use for monitoring
RN 15007 - futu re production bore 8; not yet equipped.
The l ocati on of all bores is shown on Figure 2.

2.3 Test Pumping Data
Results of pumping tests are listed in Table 2.
Calculated transmissivities (T) in the Hermannsburg borefield
range from 1 m2/d to 15 m2/d. These are based almost
exclusively on data from production bores . Most of these 24
hour constant rate tests show a classic straight line
response after some initia l well-storage effects.
Estimates of storage coeffici~ts are very limited.
Observation bores were used for the tests on RN 14165 (P7)
and RN 15007 (P8). The observation bore for RN 14165 was 10
m distant and demonstrated a response indicative of either a
leaky aquifer, or the early stages of delayed yield; duration
of the test was insufficien-t to distinguish between the two .
Matching with Walton's Type Curves gave
The observation bore for RN 15007 was 450 m distant and did
not respond during the 24 hour test. Assuming hydraulic
connection, S must be greater than a value lying between 1 x c
10-s and 2 x 10-4 (for t he range of transmi ssi vi ties cited
above).
It is doubtful that these values of storage coefficient are
indicative of the long term behaviour of the aquifer.
Analysis of test pump data for RN 15007 indicates that about
50% of the l arge drawdowns experienced in operating this
borefield are attributable to well losses.
2.4 Water Consumption Records
water Resources Branch holds pumping records from June 1977
to February 1986. The earlier records give hours run and
estimates of pumping rate. From January 1983 onwards, water
meter readings are available . The readings from P2 (RN 2934)
5
are meaningless; its meter should be replaced with one
similar to those on all the other production bores.
From these records, weekly maximum productions were 4475 kL
( ie, 639 kL/d; week ending 04/12/82) and 4664 kL ( ie, 666
kL/d; week ending 23/02/86). Annual production over those
three years is estimated to average 140 ML (ie, 384 kL/d).
More recently, monthly pumpages from each bore and supply
through the master meter are available from Aboriginal
~Essential Services Branch since March 1988. These data are
presented in Table 3. Monthly usages have been calculated
from the master meter readings. These are also listed in
Table 3 and plotted in Figure 3 to show the consumption
pattern throughout the year.
The current annual average consumption rate is 350 KL/d with
a peak monthly consumption rate of 609 KL/ d.
Based on recommended pumping rates, the capacity of the
bore field since P7 was equipped in 1985 has been 11.9 L/ s.
Pumped continuously these could supply 985 kL/ d; the actual
value would be lower due to variations in actual equipped
rates and to collection system losses when all bores pump
together .
Actual water consumption in the community has only increased
by 3.3% annually since 1976, compared with the 6% predicted
by Lally (1977).
The population of the community has remained stable at about
350 since 1976. The increase in water consumption over the
intervening period may be a reflection of increasing living
standards in the community, but is thought more likely to be
due t o wastage.
1000 L/cjd.
Annual consumption is now of the order of

2.5 Water Quality Data
All avai lable wate r quality data for the borefield are listed
in Table 4. Apart from iron concentration, all parameters
tested are within the National Health and Medical Research
Council's guidelines for drinking water quality in Australia
(NH&MRC, 1987 ) .
Production 3 ( RN 3618) has a significantly higher TDS than
the other production bores, though it is still within the
guideline limit. The higher TDS is believed due to its
proximity to t he Finke River which behaves as a saline
groundwater discharge zone.
Figure 4 is a piper trilinear diagram showing available
analyses over time for all the production bores. There is no
signifi cant segregation of waters. P3, and to a lesser
extent P2, plot slightly away from the cluster of othe r
bores. The plot for Kaporilya Spring water is coincident
with the majority of production bores, indicating that the
water is derived from the same source.
The concentration of iron is variable both spatially and
temporally, analysis values ranging from 0.0 to 9 . 4 mg/ L. It
frequently exceeds the maximum recommended concentration of
0 . 3 mg/ L (NH&MRC, 1987). As most of the bores are not cased,
the iron is assumed to be present in groundwater rather than
resulting from steel casing corrosion. Appropriate physical
treatment at the collection tank is required to reduce it t o
a satisfactory l evel.

2.6 Geophysical Data
An interpretation of Magellan geophysical data is presented
in Attachment 1. It concludes that the Hermannsburg Sandstone
has dips of approximately 13° shallowing to 8° one to two
kilometres south of the Krichauff Range . A dip of around 11°
in the borefield area has been assumed. Available 1:50,000
geological maps show the Hermannsburg Sandstone dipping at 6°
at outcrops in the Krichauff Range, decreasing to 0° at the
Palm Valley anticline 8 km south of the borefield .
Based on these dips and on the topographic mapping, a
schematic cross- section through the borefield is shown in
Figure 5.
A report by Thigpen (1973) on fracture analysis in the Palm
Valley, Gardiner, James Range Anticline was rev iewed as part
o f the geophysical data for this project . This surface
expression of fracturing in the Hermannsburg Sandstone does
not appear to be regionally significant in terms of the
aquifer's hydraulic characteristics . However it does explain
the occurrence of minor springs in the Krichauff Range.
Most of the existing bores were sited by WRD hydrogeologists
on interpreted major fractures; all but P2 and P8 do in fact
lie on or near major fractures mapped by Thigpen (see overlay
to Figure 2). There is however no correlation with bore
yield or with aquifer parameters derived from test pumping
results. Fracture density mapped by Thigpen is greatest in
the vicinity of P5-Kaporilya Spring; in this area the mapping
s h ows fracture intersections . This suggests that the higher
transmissivity calculated for PS is due to a zone of more
intense fracturing. Hence if further production bores are
required, one option is to seek sites with similar
intersecting fracture patterns.

2.7 Survey Data and Regional Throughflow
A report from the Department of Lands and Housing containing
survey and level information for bores in the borefield area
is included as Attachment 2. Compilation sheets at 1:50,000
scale (for the yet to be released revision of the 1:250,000
Hermannsburg topographic sheet) were the best available
topographic mapping.
The level data are summarised in Table 5 together with
calculation of the groundwater gradient from the west.
Depending on the value adopted for transmissivity, the
throughflow is estimated to be between 3.7 m3/ d and 55.5 m3/ d
per kilometre width of aquifer .
Throughflow of that magnitude is insufficient to maintain the
water levels in the borefield with the current abstraction of
350 m3jd. This concurs with Lally's postulation that the
main source of recharge to the aquifer is via its outcrop in
the Krichauff Range about 2 km south of the borefield.
2.8 Recharge Area
The Hermannsburg Sandstone has an outcrop/ sub- outcrop area,
in the Krichauff Ranges between Areyonga and the Finke River,
of approximately 350 km2• This area contains drainages of
the Palm and Areyonga Valleys. The borefield is on the
northern flank of this outcrop at its eastern end . It cannot
however be assumed that the ent i re area has t he potential to
contribute recharge to the borefield.
Warne and Prowse (1988) have reported difficulty in locating
aquifers in the lower unit of the Hermannsburg Sandstone
during drilling along the Palm Valley Creek system. It has
therefore been assumed that the recharge area is limi ted to
the surface outcrop of the particular aquifer zone tapped by
production bores (generally struck around 150 mbgl in the
borefield area). Outcrop of that aquifer zone in the
Krichauff Range immediately south of the borefield i s shown
9
in Figures 1 and 5 and is consistent with the mapped contact
between upper and lower Hermannsburg sandstone members. The
surface water divide is further to the south; surface water
flow from this area is northward across the borefield area.
It is assumed that recharge is by direct infiltration, and by
infiltration through surface drainages within the area of
outcrop of the lower member.
The outline of this recharge area is shown in Figure 1 and
has an estimated area of only 25 km2•
With an average rainfall of 250 mm; a, infiltration of 2% of
rainfall would be required to balance the current rate of
extraction. Recharge of 2% is not inconsistent with
contemporary understanding of arid zone hydrology. Travel
time from the recharge area to the borefield may be .roughly
approximated by assuming a 4 km flowpath, transmissivity of 3
m2/ d, and aquifer thickness of 30 m for a travel time of 100
years.
Given that standing water levels have not altered
significantly over the life of the borefield (see Tables 1 &
2) it is concluded that recharge to the borefield area is equal to or greater than extraction. That is, the
sustainable yield under current climatic conditions is equal
to or greater than current extraction rates (350 m3/ d or 130
ML/ a).
2.9 Computer Mode lling
An attempt was made to model the aquifer using the
Prickett-Lonnquist finite difference mode l . A range of
parameters from the analysis of test pumping information was
used without a calibration being achieved. It was concluded
that insufficient information is available about aquifer
parameters and behaviour, and about recharge, t o permit use
of a computer model.
10
2.10 Water Level Data
There is a lack of historical standing water leve l (SWL) data
for the Hermannsburg borefield, mainly due to the lack of
suitable monitoring bores. The only data available for
examining the detailed response of the aquifer to pumping and
recharge events has been obtained from Stevens chart
recorders which were installed on bores RN 15006 and RN 15007
in November 1988. Data for RN 15007 is incomplete for the
period April to July 1989 due to equipment problems
associated with large rises in water level. The available
data for both bores is plotted in Figures 6 and 7. SWL for
RN 15006 is compared to rainfall data and monthly water
consumptions in Figure 6.
Water levels in both bores appear to respond to operation of
production bores in the borefield. Levels in RN 15006
fluctuate by up to 1 m, whereas the reaction in RN 15007 is
approximately 0.5 m. There is no ready explanation for this
behaviour since RN 15006 is further away from the production
bores than RN 15007. It is also downgradient (down dip) from
the production bores.
Both bores also appear to respond to rainfall events. SWL's
in RN 15006 have risen by 1. 7 m since February 1989. They
stabilised in August 1989, probably as a result of forming a
discharge zone in an adjacent drainage line. In the same
period, SWL's in RN 15007 have risen by 5.2 m. They did not
stabilise like those in RN 1 5006, probably because RN 15007
is 9 m higher in e levation, and is distant from surface
drainage lines, therefore being unable to develop a spring or
discharge zone.
The rise in SWL ' s in RN 150 06 and RN 15007 is attributed to
delayed recharge from the December 1988 and March-April 1989
rainfall events, coupled with the low water consumptions for
December 1988 - January 1989 .
The SWL plots indicate the existence of a steep hydraulic
gradient from the direction of the Krichauff Range since
11
the difference in piezometric head between RN 15006 and RN
15007 ranges between approximately 7 m and 11 m. Using a
projected down-dip separation of 500 m, the gradient varies
between 0.014 and 0.022. It is apparent that pumping from P4
and P7 has not established a true cone of drawdown in the
potentiometric surface. That
throughflow is not being captured.
is, all the down-dip
This hydraulic gradient and the reaction of both RN 15006 and
RN 15007 to rainfall events confirms the existence of a
recharge area immediately to the south of the borefield.
2.11 Rainfall Records
Rainfall is no longer recorded in Hermannsburg. The nearest
s tatio n is the Palm Valley Ranger's residence. Data from
that station are shown plotted on Figure 6.
It is recommended that a pluviograph be installed in the
vicinity of the borefield.
2 .12 Production Bore Performance
There are few reported problems with production bores. They
are generally stable, non-sanding holes with long lives.
It is not known why P1 was decommisioned. P6 was never
equipped; P7 was drilled adjacent when the open hole of P6
was found bridged off.
Some pumping problems have occasionally been reported during
periods of excessive demand. Investigation has not
established the cause; airlines are not a reliable diagnostic
tool with the great dynamic range in SWL of these bores.
Review of the pumping test data in Table 2 suggests that the
recommended pumping rates and pump settings c ould be
reviewed. For example, P2 and P4 could possibly be up- rated.
12
However in the light of reported problems and in the absence
of sufficient data on interference effects it would be unwise
to do so . Should this be considered as an option for
increasing instantaneous capacity, then instrumentation of
pumping equipment with electronic submergence sensors,
flowmeters and hour-meters followed by analysis of the data
over a prolonged period of high demand would be required.
To spread the effects of extraction and to minimise
interference effects it would be desirable to sequence the
operation of pumping bores in periods of high demand. The
borefield may be considered to consist of three pumping
centres: P3, P4-P8-P7, and P2-PS . Neither of the latter
centres should have two bores operating together until one
bore is already pumping in each of the three centres.
13
3. CONCLUSIONS
3.1 Groundwater Movement and Recharge
Groundwater flow down-dip through the borefield area exceeds
throughflow along strike by an order of magnitude.
Extraction has not resulted in any significant change in
groundwater levels. Recharge, and hence sustainable yield,
is at least equal to current extraction.
If no rapid increase in extraction is predicted, then no further intensive investigation work is required.
If however extraction is expected to increase significantly, then further investigation will be required to establish the
upper limit to that extraction. The extent of the effective
recharge area immediately to the south of the borefield would require better definition. This would involve a detailed field appraisal of outcrop/sub-outcrop in the recharge area
and the construction of a line of observation bores up-dip of the borefield in the Krichauff Range. The observation bores
would probably be sited along the access to the gas production facility and would be used to define the
potentiometric surface in the recharge area, and to observe its response to rainfall events and to borefield extraction . Thi s would be followed by computer modelling.
In the meantime suitable isotopic analysis of groundwater is
recommended to get an idea of travel times from the recharge
area(s).
3 . 2 Water Level Monitoring
Water level records for Hermannsburg are very limited.
The recent exercise of placing continuous recorders on
observation bores has produced valuable information. It is
recommended that RN 15006 be retained as an observation bore
14
and that it be permanently equipped with a continuous water
level recorder and recording pluviograph. Extension of the
continuous record will enable a better judgement of the
relative effects of recharge events and of variations in
extraction rate on the peizometric surface.
Water level data throughout the remainder of the borefield
would also be useful. One or more of the existing production
b o res will need to be de-commissioned for this purpose (see
sect ion 3.3.3 for details).
Continuous recorders would also be required on any
observation bores constructed in the Krichauff Range recharge
area.
3 . 3 Future Production Bores
The requirement for further product ion bores will arise
ei ther from an overall increase in total ext raction or from a
requi rement for greater peak production capacity.
The f o rme r should be addressed by an intensive invest igati on
as outline d above. Before this is unde rtaken , and be f ore
f u rther bores are drilled to increase the instantaneous
capac ity of the borefield, a c riti cal review of water usage
patterns is r equired at Hermannsburg . The present borefield
capacity is significantly in excess o f that requi red for a
community of this size . It has for example been observed
that sewer outfl ow is up t o 9 0% of demand . The obv ious first
step is therefore to introduce reticulation maintenance
procedures and institute demand management policies.
3.3 .1 Equipping of RN 15007 (P8)
It is recommended that RN 15007 be equipped as a production
bore with a maximum pumping rate of 4.0 L/ s (see the
completion report for RN 15007). At t hat rate a drawdown of
100 m below SWL is predicted afte r 24 hou rs pumping . At 3
L/ s the pre dicted 24 hour drawdown is 75 m. The only data on
15
interference is the recent short period of continuous SWL
record; it is suggested that allowance be made for an
additional 10 m drawdown due to interference when other
production bores are operated simultaneously for prolonged
periods.
3.3.2 Test Pumping o f RN 15006
-RN 15006 was drilled immediately prior to RN 15007 as the
planned production bore. It was sited down-dip of previously
drilled production bores on the assumption that the creek
line adjacent to it and to RN 14165 ( P7) is the surface
expression of a fracture system at depth. However, RN 15006
ai rlilfted only 2 L/ s, and was therefore constructed with
surface casing only for water level monitoring use. RN 15007
was then drilled and tested as the required production bore.
It ha s since been reported that there were problems with the
compressed air supply during the drilling of RN 15006 and
that this could account for the reported low airlift yield
(pers com: P Jolly).
It is therefore recommended that RN 15006 be test pumped to
determine its yield with the objective of contributing to
understanding of the hydrogeology of the aquifer.
3.3.3 Decommisioning of Older Production Bores
Whe n P8 is commissioned it will replace one of the older,
unc ased, lower yielding production bores .
I t is recommende d that P4 be decommissioned in the first
instance. If l e ft in serv ice, there is the potential for
s e rious interference within the group P4-P8- P7.
It is recommended that P3 be retained in service to spread
ext rac t ion over a large r area.
16
3.3.4 Siting Future Production Bores
To provide an increase in instantaneous capacity without a
significant increase in total extraction, it is suggested
that a site be drilled between P2 and P8 on the fracture line
mapped by Thigpen ( 1973). Should a good yield be obtained
then P2 may be decommisioned for water level monitoring .
To provide for a significant increase in total extraction the
investigation works outlined above would be undertaken first.
New production bor'e s would probably be distributed further
along strike to the west, preferably on mapped zones of
intersecting fractures .
17
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommended program for further investigation of the
Hermannsburg water source is:
A: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
1 . Implement the collection of baseline data on water
levels, rainfall, and extraction in the borefield area.
'-2. Review the data in 5 years time ( 1995) or when any
stress on the source is observed.
3. Pumping test on RN 15006.
4. Fit new meter to P2 (RN 2934) and maintain all meters
in a serviceable condition.
5. Analyse samples for isotopes to determine the age of
the groundwater being extracted.
6. If operating procedures or automatic controls permit,
the operating rules in section 2.12 may be implemented.
B: TO TAKE EFFECT IF A MAJOR EXTRACTION INCREASE IS PREDICTED
1 . Define the extent of the recharge area to the south of
the borefield by a combination of hydrogeological
mapping and construction of monitoring bores.
2. Model the aquifer system with the objective of estimating its sustainable yield.

ATTACHMENT 1 - GEOPHYSICAL DATA INTERPRETATION
ROWSTON, P AND RITCHIE, T NOVEMBER 1988
Limited seismic coverage was a feature of the development of
the Palm Valley gas field. This is attributable to the
ruggedness of the terrain in the area. Magellan 2-2 is the
seismic line most relevant to the geological setting of the
Hermannsburg borefield by virtue of its proximity (see Figure
A1.1) .
Because of the differences in depths of investigation in
oil/ gas and groundwater exploration, reflections from the
base Hermannsburg are not resolved on the section. Dip of
the Hermannsburg must therefore be deduced from deeper
reflectors assuming constant thickness and conformity (see
Figure A1.2) .
With these assumptions then, dips of = 13° at Hermannsburg
( SP 17-18) shallowing to = 8° one to two kilometres south
along 1 ine 2-2, then shallowing again to = 0° five to six
kilometres south of Hermannsburg are estimated.
These dips are illustrated in Figure A1. 2 . Note also the
faulting (interpretted by Magellan) associated with this dip
increase at depth .
