Farm Irrigation.

Drought conditions are severely affecting communities throughout regional Queensland and other parts of Australia. Arrow Energy has responded to this threat with the development of a reverse osmosis facility which treats coal seam gas water for crop irrigation.

Arrow has developed two facilities and has plans to develop more as production increases. One facility is located at our Tipton West coal seam gas field, 20 minutes south of Dalby. The facility desalinates 1.5 megalitres of saline water extracted from coal seams as part of the gas production process to create fresh water. What's more, this process is powered by coal seam gas. A larger 12 megalitre facility is located at our Daandine field. 30 minutes west of Dalby. The water produced is intended to be used for irrigation. There are more opportunities to use this water beneficially including industrial use and supplementing town water supplies.
