Appeals to NT Government to reject fracking near hot springs | ABC NEWS

Water scientists are worried 12 test fracking wells on a remote cattle station could damage a springs system that is still little-known and understood.

Indigenous custodians are worried that the Santos test fracking project being considered by the NT government could affect wildlife and songlines.

Santos has said it will use strict environmental controls to protect aquifers and rivers, and put a water monitoring program in place to detect any problems.
