Caves hold the secret to understanding groundwater

Bevin Liu, William Owens

Wellington Caves may be off-limits at the moment due to COVID-19 restrictions, but tourists aren’t the only ones keen to get back inside.

Researchers from the University of NSW have been studying water levels inside the underground complex in the hope of better understanding groundwater sources and how frequently they are replenished.

Cave and karst researcher Professor Andy Baker has been working at the site and surrounding areas since 2010. He believes the study can help communities and industry better manage groundwater use.

I think that any minority person would do that for self protection, particularly in the 60s and 70s. People were jailed for being gay. They were sent to institutions, they were given electric shock treatment.
