This project will lead to documentation of a unique subterranean ecosystem of world acclaim, representing a significant component of the biodiversity of the Australian arid zone. It will further contribute to sustainable management of groundwater ecosystems and provide information that can be used to predict and monitor how future water use and climate change may impact on these ecosystems. Results generated will provide the knowledge base required to improve the efficiency and scientific rigour of the environmental review process for major resource projects, leading to economic benefits to the mining and environmental consultancy industries, and to Australia in general.

该项目将导致记录一个世界闻名的独特地下生态系统，代表澳大利亚干旱地区生物多样性的重要组成部分。它将进一步促进地下水生态系统的可持续管理，并提供可用于预测和监测未来用水和气候变化如何影响这些生态系统的信息。所产生的结果将提供所需的知识基础，以提高主要资源项目环境审查过程的效率和科学严谨性，从而为采矿和环境咨询行业以及整个澳大利亚带来经济效益。
