The Queensland government says reports are wrong that it is seeking another review of the impact on groundwater flowing from the Great Artesian Basin to endangered springs to the south-west of Adani's proposed Carmichael coal mine.

Queensland's Department of Environment and Science says it requested further groundwater information from the CSIRO and Geoscience Australia after their reports were provided to the federal government in February 2019.

Doongmabulla Springs, south-west of the proposed Carmichael mine. Impact on this spring is at the centre of Adani's final approvals.

At the heart of the dispute is a federal government ruling that the impact on the bore water rising from the threatened Doongmabulla Springs – south-west of the proposed mine – cannot be more than 20 centimetres.

In a groundwater study prepared for Eco Logical Australia, the impact on the Doongmabulla Springs – which feed six endangered species – ranges from five centimetres to 19 centimetres.
