bore water  drilling

“I had four water diviners locate probable drilling sites, but each of them disagreed with the others’ recommendations, and I was reluctant to go ahead with drilling under these circumstances. I have two creeks running through my property, but I can only irrigate from them in good times. My only long — term solution to ensuring water for irrigation and stock is to drill bores."


“I remember watching that specific ABC Landline program several times trying to better understand your approach. Even though it was an expensive exercise getting the bore drilled ... well worth the cost for peace of mind and not having to repeat the cost of feeding cattle and eventually having to sell most of them when the feed became too expensive during the recent three — year drought.”


“I thought you may be interested in the analysis of the water sample from my new bore. I am very pleased. It probably doesn’t get much better if it is deemed suitable for human consumption. I am very grateful ... for a great result. Best wishes."

Moonford farmer discovers water solution

"Since sinking a 15,000 gallon/hour bore on his property, sourced by Sustainable Water Solutions, it has opened up a further 40 hectares of cultivation for irrigated cereal crops such as wheat.


"We are also in a position to go in and plant summer pastures or lucerne. It has enabled us to basically increase the number of cattle we background,


Three years ago, the McInnes' went though an expensive exercise with diviners, which didn't produce any water.


"We cased one location and never got enough to give three dogs a drink. However, had known about Sustainable Water Solutions back then, we would have saved ourselves a lot of time and money, 


"The team at Sustainable Water Solutions were able to pinpoint the exact spot to drill, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

"The drought really knocked the property down to a very sad state, with dead ground cover and bare earth. Trees and grapevines died.


"Lack of water was a problem, it cost me a fortune to keep feeding the remaining cattle I had. I have dams, but they soon drained (or had poor water quality). The Gloucester River that I am on reduced to a trickle and having a water license is useless if there is no water to be had.


"I needed to do something about a backup water supply, and I saw an online article about farmers in Queensland that had used Sustainable Water Solutions to help them and they were getting some good results.


"I contacted this company as it seemed to be a sensible way forward. I accepted the quote for a geological survey as I saw  that they knew what they were talking about, and also based on the results they were getting elsewhere.


"They explained the science of locating water and I likened it to an ultrasound or seismic testing of what might be under my property when it came to water.


"The science that was explained to me helped  me make the decision. On-site testing and the report that came back built further confidence.


"I applied to the State Government water regulatory body and got approval to proceed with drilling a water bore on my property, and as predicted, water was found at the 20, 80 and 138 metre levels. From the seismic survey the deeper level was the more likely to produce good quality water in sufficient quantities.


"I set up bore head taps and piping to be able to measure and control in a predictable way the water coming up out ofthe ground.


"With this water supply, I feel in a better position to get through inevitable future droughts. I don't want the trees, gardens, and the vineyard to again die nor my cattle to suffer or be sold off as they were in the last drought.


"The volume and quality of the water are within the range tolerances that I wanted, fit for human consumption.


"My result from the investment made is great and the service from Louis and the Sustainable Water team was outstanding."
