		This waste of water from uncontrolled bores and from inefficient open earthen bore drain reticulation systems has caused a fall in artesian pressure across much of the Basin, threatening continued access to artesian water by pastoralists and contributing to the loss of groundwater dependant ecosystems.
		In addition it has become difficult for new water users in or near the Basin to obtain access to Basin groundwater resources.
		The waste of water is causing environmental damage through land and water salinisation, the encouragement of the spread of pest plants and animals, and falling pressure in some naturally occurring artesian springs.
