Australia, the Federal Australian Labor government is preparing to destroy the Australian farming industry with water policies which are based on bad politics, bad science and deluded environmental values. Read further here and watch this well-researched presentation. This is your country, and Labor is appealing to green groups with no thought for the implications of its policies.
The Murray-Darling River has a volatile flow regime. Paradoxically, its life depends upon the regulating role of the dams and diversion schemes to ensure an optimal flow of water for the environment and farmers.
There is one question I have about this video. Does it consider the allocation of water for hydro-electricity, which can ultimately be used for farmer's allocations. This might be a political football. The presentation does not deal with that issue, or the issue of water efficiency.
