What I find frustrating is that this whole thing is not just aout the Murray Darling - this is about water Security of a rapidly
growing Nation. The solution is there but will require courage to take on Snowy Mountain Project size solutions - we simply have to look at ways of capturing more water and working out away of directing to all possibilities both side of the Great Divide. We all continue to be narrow minded and unimaginative about solutions.

Allan Maurice Taylor You are always going to get drought conditions in the MDBasin, in a cyclical manner.. maybe 6 years out of 10, with 2 normal and 1 flood flow years, on average over 100 years. The problem is to store enough water to cover the drought years, which means more dams and bores. There are various ways to tackle the problem, but an optimum solution seems prevented by busybodies of the Conservation Movement who want to preserve the world exactly as it is today from their previleged desk-bound city positions , happily promoting an eco-religion few people believe, least of all farmers of the MDBasin. I am beginning to wonder whether the idea of a national MDBasin plan is a good idea after all, after the farmers burning the first report..a well deserved response. Is this the right direction? Lets bring de Bono thinking to play on the problem. Conservationists are not fans of lateral thinking, or any forms of logic. What if I say that the rainfall that falls on a property is free to the property owner and is God's gift to humanity, and he can do what he likes with it. Expanding this idea to the States... rainfall in Queensland is its concern, ditto NSW, ditto VIC and ditto SA. No squabbling allowed between States. If this was law, then all this bunkum generated by SA Premier Weatherall would not exist. SA government would have to review their MISMANAGEMENT OF THE Lower Lakes system and stop all this bunkum about wanting more environmental flows to keep the ocean mouth of the river open, which is a crazy idea (healthy river) promoted by the Greens and Conservationalists. More on this later TGIF time for vino and tapas. Allano
