An Application of Aeromagnetic Imagery and Borehole Geophysics in Regional Groundwater Investigations at Palla Road & Khurutshe, Botswana

The National Water Master Plan study, NWMP, (DWA, 1991 and 1992) proposed that<br>the future water supply to the south-east and central Botswana should use sulface water<br>from dams along the Motloutse and Shashe rivers. To convey the water to the demand<br>areas, the North South Carrier (NSC) was proposed. The NSC runs through the Palla<br>Road and Khurutshe areas which have major groundwater potential which are also being<br>developed to be used as a strategic backup supply to these dams. The groundwater<br>resources are encountered in the Ntane Sandstone in Upper Karoo formations.
