The primary source of all groundwater information (including springs) in SA is Waterconnect website (SA Government 2023). Springs data in the groundwater database are classed as “Waterpoints”. Sometimes names of springs are associated with water point records as well. Waterpoints for the KT-LEB region were extracted from the database. These points were then crosschecked against key references on springs found in the KT-LEB region of South Australia (Gotch (2013); Keppel et al (2016)) to provide information on the spring source aquifer and spring complex name. Information on some additional springs located along Cooper Creek with a Cenozoic source aquifer was obtained from Wopfner (1961). Springs in South Australia have source aquifers in the GAB or LEB, a mixture of GAB and LEB, or “Other”, such as fractured rock aquifers in the Flinders Ranges.
