“…This flow recharges local aquifers which are confined by the impermeable sandstone and/or the underlying Cretaceous sediments of the Winton formation. Under this mechanism the lag between recharge and discharge is probably in the order of decades (Leblanc et al ., ). These aquifers are exposed through erosion at the edge of the Tertiary land surface, and most springs (75%) occur at the base of escarpments in gorges or incised gullies (Figure ).…”

“…The landscape is characterised by elevated bauxite plateaux, dominated by tall, dense savanna, interspersed between low-lying plains, dominated by open savanna, and river tributaries. The bauxite plateaux absorb large quantities of water during the wet season, which gets slowly released through springheads during the dry season, flowing down channels into the surrounding landscape (Specht et al 1977;Leblanc et al 2015). This hydrology allows for the formation of tall savannas with high tree biomass and a dense understorey (Bowman and Fensham 1991).…”
