Adani plans to protect desert springs are worthless, water experts say

Adani plans to protect desert springs are worthless, water experts say.
The Doongmabulla Springs have the country's highest
level of legal protection, listed as "endangered
ecological communities".
The Australian Conservation Foundation, which has campaigned against the controversial project, gathered and commissioned the reviews by environmental law and water experts.

They looked at Adani's draft plans to protect the Doongmabulla Springs and Mellaluka Springs from the impacts of the proposed Carmichael coal mine.

In response to these criticisms, Adani told the ABC its draft management plan was "targeted and specific", and part of a "robust, multi-layered approach" to monitoring the impacts of its mine.
