Don't let Adani drain these springs!

Federal Government scientists have admitted that we still don’t know the full impacts of Adani's coal mine on the ancient Doongmabulla Springs.

They’ve identified crucial research that is needed to properly assess the risks to the springs, but Adani haven’t done the work and neither have our governments. And the CSIRO has warned that Adani's water plans are seriously flawed and contained unverified data.1

These springs are comprised of 160 wetlands that provide permanent water in times of drought and sustain life in a dry landscape. Adani's coal mine could drain them forever ...

These springs are comprised of 160 wetlands that provide permanent water in times of drought and sustain life in a dry landscape. Adani's coal mine could drain them forever.

Adani have already been exposed illegally drilling groundwater bores.  We know we can’t trust them with our water. But they are trying to bully the Queensland Government into approving these dodgy plans.

Tell the Queensland Government to reject Adani's water plans and force them to do the crucial research recommended by Federal Government scientists.

Email the Queensland Environment Department

Email the Chief Executive of the QLD Department of Environment and Science, James Merrick.

Tell him not to make a decision on Adani’s Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem Management Plan (GDEMP) until vital research on the risks of the megamine to the Doongmabulla Springs has been conducted.

  • You can use our letter as a guide, but we encourage you to use your own wods -- personalised messages have a much greater impact!
  • Don't know what to write? Explain why you want the Queensland Environment Department to conduct crucial research to fully understand Adani's impacts on the ancient Doongmabulla Springs.
  • Let them know why this issue mattes to your personally. You might want to mention that Queensland is currently facing one of its worst droughts in recorded history. And that Adani are currently under investigation for illegally drilling into groundwater at their mine site. Adani can not be trusted to look after Queensland's precious water.
