RE: The Tryvale Bore - Underground Water.
By the picture it looks like the pumped up water just flows along the ground until it gets to where it has to go. Don't you lose a lot of water seeping back in the ground that way? Or am I not seeing the picture right and there are pipes for the water to move through.
Yeah there are pipes underground. The water you see flowing is the overflow because the bore is under it's own pressure and leaks out the top, but this water goes into the nearby dam.
Cool, you even save the overflow with a dam. Nothing wasted.
