The female of the species lay single eggs in capsules made of sand grains and attached to the underside of rocks or wood.

B. waterhouseae is considered vulnerable by the IUCN as it has a very small range and is sensitive to water quality and so may be threatened by disturbances of its habitat.

Conservation activities such as assessment of the aquatic ecosystem and vegetal surveys are being undertaken in an attempt to preserve this species.

Many species may have evolved in different areas because each is very selective in their habitat and has no means of dispersal, by physical vectors or a structural sense.

Female individuals only lay single eggs into a capsule usually made of sand grains that are attached under rocks or wood.

[9] As with most freshwater molluscs (including slugs, snails, and mussels), B. waterhouseae can be identified by their proximity to water, as they live around streams.

[10] Different levels of conservation status for organisms and wildlife are in place to ensure the needed attention and care for endangered or threatened species.

B. waterhouseae falls under the "endangered" status, meaning a recovery plan is in process with discussions taking place based on the reservation of the species.

[12] Although governments and organizations have discussed and are aware of the conservation of this species, no active processes of interference and conduction of reservation plans has happened.

Although no specific actions are stipulated, it is expected that implementation of the Recovery Plan will take place through the three NRM Tasmanian Regions amongst other governments and organizations.

Specific attributes that formulate a sustainable environment for the survival of natural organisms such as B. waterhouseae include aquatic fauna and habitats not containing any threatened species.

This suggests that overall the natural environment can sustain life and contributes to the safety of native organisms such as freshwater snail species.

[9] The Boobyalla and Tomahawk Rivers are both native Tasmanian environments that are home so hundreds of species, and these are in fairly good condition in terms of their contribution to the high survival rate of organisms.

This has taken place through incorporating a review of relevant literature, databases and vegetation maps, aerial photograph interpretation and a field survey.

The purpose of these environment assessments is to identify if B. waterhouseae or any other significant species or communities might be impacted by any proposed development.

Fauna assessments results concluded that vegetation in the study areas is potential habitat for only four species listed as threatened on the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999.
