About this document
This report documents local-scale assessments that explore whether there could be noticeable consequences on the groundwater balance from enhanced inter-aquifer connectivity owing to leakage pathways from hydrocarbon wells, groundwater bores, and exploration bores. The local-scale assessments also serve as a test-bed for regional-scale assessments of potential consequence documented in Assessment of regional-scale effects on groundwater balance and quality linked to increased inter-aquifer leakage.
