Underground Water Black

Water is a most precious commodity in the Northern Territory. Annual average rainfall in Alice Spring is about 24mm. 90% of the Territory’s water supply comes from underground. The Todd River flows through Alice Springs only when there is a huge downpour of rain water in a large catchment area, otherwise most of the time the river is just dry sand. However, there is a Regatta every year. This is the only Regatta race in the world held on dry sand and soil, known as the Henley on Todd.

Aboriginal people always knew where to find drinking water. Water was available underneath the soil near trees, rocks and near the wild bird movements etc. Aboriginal people used digging sticks, to dig and fetch the water to drink.
