Know Your Bore to secure water and support the NT lifestyle

Rural residents and pastoralists rely heavily on bore water to support their lifestyle and operations. To ensure they continue to have access to this vital resource, a new series of easy-to-understand Know Your Bore information resources has been created.

These resources are designed to assist rural property owners and pastoralists to have easy access to the key information to care for their bores and keep them working. Topics covered include:

• How to keep your bore in good working condition
• How to monitor and test your water for safety
• Permits, approvals, and what’s required
• What you need to know to build a bore.

Know Your Bore will roll out on multiple platforms including social media, the show circuit, newspaper ads, podcasts, a series of videos and there is even a magnet for your shed.

By improving understanding and management of bore water, this initiative helps ensure that rural residents and pastoralists can continue to live, work, and operate their properties with confidence while supporting the broader goals in the Territory Water Plan.
