Minimum Construction Requirements for Water Bores in Australia

The fourth edition is now out!

The Minimum Construction Requirements for Water Bores in Australia is the accepted authority in all states and territories for  constructing, maintaining, rehabilitating and decommissioning water bores in Australia.

It is used extensively by regulators and the drilling industry and provides a consistent standard reference across Australia for the licensing of bores and drillers.

The requirements focus on protecting groundwater resources from contamination, deterioration and uncontrolled flow associated with poorly constructed bores and on the construction of bores to provide a clean water supply.
