The Tindall Limestone is one of the two major fractured and cavernous aquifers in the Daly Basin. The regional groundwater flow paths are described with most flow occurring parallel to the basin edge and towards the streams that cut across the basin. In the central part of the basin where the aquifer is at considerable depth, only minor flow is considered to occur. The aquifer is unconfined in places around the basin margin. Elsewhere it is confined or partly confined by younger formations. Recharge is highest in the unconfined areas, negligible where the confining layer is the Jinduckin Formation and intermediate in value where Cretaceous rocks overlie the aquifer. Discharge zones are mainly located along the major rivers and comprise both karstic springs and more diffuse stream bed discharge.,
