    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?
