Our rivers are fighting for their lives. For decades, governments have allowed big irrigators to suck way too much water out of our rivers, draining them of life. Today we have a chance to fix it.
Right now the NSW Government is setting the rules on how our rivers will be managed for the next ten years. Yet, outrageously, they’re trying to exclude the latest drought data so they can continue to over-allocate water to big industry.
Can you send a quick message to Minister for Water, Melinda Pavey, and Minister for the Environment, Matt Kean, and demand they use up-to-date drought data in NSW’s water sharing plans?
