Wabma Kardarbu Mound Springs Inventory Survey

Created 25/06/2025

Wabma Kadarbu CP was first Gazetted to include the Bubbler Group in July of 1996. The Park was expanded in October 2001 to include a further 9 spring groups. As part of this inventory it was identified that the various datasets have gathered different information and have used a range of conventions. So the objective of the current trip is to bring the datasets to a minimum standard within the Wabma Kadarbu CP by gathering the following information:

Location and altitude information for each spring vent accurate to the nearest centimetre. Standard physical description of spring units following Biological Survey methodologies. Standardised labelling of springs vents. Sampling of macro-invertebrate diversity. Sampling of wetland dependant vegetation

The inventory was originally planned to include the Strangways spring group, but due to a larger than expected number of flowing springs within Wabma Kadarbu CP (WMC recorded 70 springs in the Wabma Kadarbu CP, whereas the May 2004 Inventory located 358 springs) it was decided to not include the Strangways group. Internal Report available "Wabma Kadarbu CP Mound Springs Inventory- May 2004". Prepared by Andrew Graham, Biological Survey and Monitoring Group, DEH, June 2005. The Wabma Kardarbu Mound Springs Inventory Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
