Bore dam

This is the bore site where we have a second supply of water. It doesn't give us that much but the bore we have on site just doesn't have enough capacity.This bore was drilled by Esso in the eighties looking for petroleum. The water has this black hydro carbon gunk in it but it was not viable.I am standing on the hill they made that has a open cement tank. The water comes from the bore into it, the black crap floats to the top. Water is taken from the bottom of the cement tank through piping that goes into the dam for heat exchanging, the pipe then comes out of the dam into a black tank. A solar operated pump then pumps the water in the black tank to our dam on site.The solar panel is just enough to run the pump, one hand shadow slows the pump down, two hand shadows stops the pump all together.
