“There have been extreme low inflows, lowest recorded inflows in history. Effective management storages has extended water availability, delaying the worst impacts of drought by 12 months. The drought is a natural disaster it has not been caused by extraction or irrigation.”
Currently, 98% of NSW remains in drought and this drought is worse than the previous drought of record. Read the latest Regional #NSW drought report at https://t.co/QisJOojjTh

"South Australian river operators are holding back $3.2 billion of environmental flows to the Coorong and Murray Mouth" This is more evidence of the complexity of MBD management and the need to stop pointing fingers at individual crop or regions https://t.co/bo1jAWYmu8

Normally don’t voice my opinions on this especially when I’ve never been privileged to see the ins and outs of irrigated farms but does the Cotton industry just cop the blame for everything that’s wrong with our mis managed river systems mostly from google degrees? #growhemp 💩😷
