Subscriber only Extracting 1.2GL of water a year from the Alstonville Plateau aquifers should not affect farmers in the area or the amount of water available in nature, says Rous County Council chairman Keith Williams. The measure is part of the Future Water Plan 2060, currently on public exhibition. The overall capacity of the aquifer is estimated to be about 650GL, or 6500 megalitres, he said. It s estimated that the aquifers receives 50G of new rainfall per year. That 50GL is the maximum that the State Government would allow to be extracted from the aquifer, so we would be only using what is naturally refilling rather than drawing down from the total aquifer.
