This survey was held in the Kanowana Block between 1990 and 1992. The Kanowana Block contains a vast network of channels, lakes, waterholes irrigated by floodwaters from the south west branch of the Cooper Creek and the northern overflow from Coongie Lakes. The survey was based on the current survey methodology for flora and vertebrate surveys which were adapted to suit the wetland system. Several objectives of the project were to adopt a site-based survey to assess, classify and map vegetation of the area, to create a baseline data for future monitoring and contributing to an understanding of the wetland system. The project was also a pilot study to test approaches and techniques for vegetation survey and mapping in other desert wetland systems of the Lake Eyre basin.
