This report virtually completes a systematic survey of mound springs around the south-western edge of the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. There are as yet about 20 springs left unsampled, mostly on BILLAKALINA, in the Francis Swamp and Margaret Creek areas. Difficulty was experienced in matching previously recorded data with that obtained in this series of surveys, in many cases being due to poorly recorded original locality information. Often a spring actually consisted of groups of discrete springs which vary in flow and also water quality. Aerial and ground photographic locations should now make future identification easy, and thus enable temporal comparison of the above parameters. The wealth of chemical data in this and the other two reports in the series, together with that available for many of the flowing wells in the area, provides ample material for a hydrochemical study of the South Australian portion of the Great Artesian Basin. The subject appears suited to an Honours Science thesis, but may require a field trip to measure other spring water parameters such as dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and pH.
