Abstract

Springs of the Great Artesian Basin has been produced with generous sponsorship support from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, and financial contributions from the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy and the Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University. These contributions have enabled the Society to have the work typeset to a professional standard and to proceed from online open-access publication of the volume to print publication, giving the work a tangible presence and long archival life. Sponsorship support from the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment also enabled the Society to offer a Special Session on Springs of the Great Artesian Basin at the Australasian Groundwater Conference held in Brisbane in November 2019. The Royal Society sincerely thanks Mrs Kate Brake for advice and support during preparation of the volume, and all authors, reviewers and editors for their contributions to this Special Issue of the Proceedings.
