Off topic I know
On the ABC NSW radio (yes the ABC which gave the
Wentworth Group the initial free plug) yesterday afternoon they were discussing the
Wentworth Group Report, it seems that the MDBA is at odds with what the
Wentworth Group say. One of the area of the unexplained losses is evaporation (theft, greater on
farm water efficiency and others), that is where they said the modelling got it wrong and why not as much water has been returned to the river
The
Wentworth Group also only used data from 2017-19, the two year period with the lowest northern basis rainfall and river inflows in recorded history (so about 120 years) and didn't include the flows earlier this year which put water into the lower lakes and the embargo on High Flow river pumping the NSW Government introduced
We are still on level 5 restrictions in
Tamworth, if you wish to be parochial and throw stones, how about all of those in
Adelaide disconnecting their garden taps and sharing the pain with us?
States should be abolished full stop.
