Where is the Great Artesian Basin located?
Artesian water is found in the basin. Although it is too salty for humans to drink, animals and livestock can drink it. It can also be used for watering crops, and thus it is a very important source of water for people living in the outback. Bores are sunk to reach the water and licenses are required for this. The water is then drawn up, sometimes hundreds of feet, by windmills.
Where in Australia is fresh water found?

Can trees grow in dry climates?
Where water is not found naturally in creeks and rivers, or as rainfall, farmers have to drill bores, going down hundreds of feet, to tap into underground water supplies (such as the Great Artesian Basin in Australia). The water is then brought to the surface via windmills. Water may also be diverted from rivers and dams into canals, which eventually feed into the farmers' paddocks. This is an inefficient way to get water, as much can be lost through evaporation.
