Listen "What is floodplain harvesting and how does it impact on rivers?"
Episode Synopsis
What is ‘floodplain harvesting’? How does it impact on rivers? Is the NSW Government about to repeat the tragic mistake of over-allocating water on our dry continent?
Hear from two experts who have been tracking the growth of private dams by satellite and have an urgent warning about impending tragedy for our rivers and wetlands.
This week we are in Broken Hill to talk to two water experts, Maryanne Slattery a former Director of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, and Bill Johnson, who has worked for 30 years in water management and policy for the NSW and Commonwealth Governments, about the impact of the floodplain harvesting and its impending legalisation
