When the River Runs Dry, page-129

Why is the Golden Goose on the Ropes?

The Murray Darling is facing an uncertain future

--Less water in catchments

--Rising temperatures leading to higher evaporation levels

--Toxic algae outbreaks

--Rising levels of salinity due to reduced flows

--Less tourism due to fears of health issues around watercourses

--Restrictions on boating, camping and recreational fishing

 

Until issues are resolved there won’t be progress--- and the Basin’s economy is more likely to drop.

How can these issues be dealt with so all states are fairly treated?
