How is Santos extraction of water measured or monitored under the cap on water use in the Murray Darling Basin?
The Water Resource Plan relating to groundwater in the Murray Darling Basin is still under development. Santos is working with the NSW Office of Water to understand the potential implications of the plan for our proposed activities. Santos is accessing water from coal seams below the alluvial aquifer systems that are used by farmers and measured under the proposed cap. For this reason, we do not expect the water we are extracting to be measured or monitored under the cap on water use in the Murray Darling Basin.
