Research published by Flinders University adds further to Traditional Owners concerns that the Adani Carmichael coal project is likely to permanently damage the culturally and environmentally significant Doongmabulla Springs in Central Queensland.
The research paper published concludes there is a serious threat of decline to the springs if the source aquifer is partially dewatered by mining operations
This has reinforced the Traditional Owners' calls for independent scrutiny of Adani’s water plans.
The Wangan and Jagalingou people are currently conducting a cultural ceremony at the mine site.
