Senator Mitchell: Do you have water metres in your larger centres?

That pink area is where this unit carries a lot of water and because it is well below 500 metres — in fact, on this diagram it says it is up to a thousand metres — I think the Debolt plant that Encana and Apache have draws water from about 800 metres — that water is very saline and it is not in any way connected to surface water.
