Under the water laws.

Watching four corners I’m reminded of the facts that have occurred ever since irrigators were given water travelling past their farm.

They have been making the rivers run backwards for many decades before all these new big farms started on land that should never have been cleared.

Yeh good answer

it like, there’d be more fish in the ocean if there were no humans. But what would be the purpose.

Gaia put the fish in the ocean for the human.

Yes, I’ve been in agriculture all my life and have also been a part of the community that either couldn’t be here without the agriculture and the agriculture couldn’t have been here without the community. There does need to be a balance but it also needs to be an honest one.

What we have in Australia is a profiteering exercise that isn’t feeding and sustaining communities either of human or ecosystem. Most of the money not only goes untaxed but also subsidised into coffers that are often not even onshore.

Better put a few more pennies in Gaia’s fish meter.

I suppose it could be said that if you handwash your undies in the shower then it could help the rivers and reduce the demand from Chinese cotton buyers.

Water theft occurs everywhere

One of my former jobs is dam operator/ maintainer

I was sent out on a fruitless journey to read water meters on major rivers, besides many of the water meters not working it was obvious water was being sucked out illegally – how would you detect it or stop it ?

I laugh about it now. My female boss told me to shut off the water to a city one day – i told her no.

Just think, does Barnaby now have a chance to opt out of this or not?
