Streambed Seepages

Streams that flow throughout the year are restricted to the Top End of the Northern Territory where the rainfall is more than about 900mm/year. In the Dry season(May to November) they are fed by ground water discharge.

Many streams gain water from diffuse streambed seepage and no discrete springs are visible.Others are a combination of localised springs and streambed seepage. Move the cursor over the main streams to see their names. Click the red dots to see examples of streambed seepages.
