Catalyst on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation have a series of videos available for download of interviews of scientists who describe the problems of acid sulphate soils and low flows in the Coorong and Lower Lakes. In one of the videos, Mike Young from the University of Adelaide, proposes a different water sharing model for the River Murray that would give the environment a larger share of the water in the system at low flows.

Send a message to Penny Wong and let her know that we need a new system of water management that better protects these important assets.
