  1. A proposal to trial storing liquefied #gas #emissions from a #coal fired power station in the #GreatArtesianBasin is being condemned by #farmers, #environmentalists, outback mayors, and even a Catholic bishop. #Mining giant #Glencore says the #waste is safe and won't contaminate underground water, but opponents are adamant the immense underground water source is too precious to risk. Now all eyes are on state and federal politicians as well as the Federal Court to see if the carbon abatement trial is approved. #madness #DriestcontinentonEarth #driestcontinent #watermanagement #greed #auspol

  7. The #horticultural foodbowl of the lower Murray has for decades been known for its vineyards, citrus and stonefruit orchards, but a global price shift has seen a new crop dominate the landscape, with big implications for #Australia 's most precious commodity — water.
    #Almonds have become the largest crop grown in the lower #Murray, with more than 45,000 hectares planted. Almonds are more #water intensive than other horticultural crops traditionally grown in the area and require 12.5 million litres of water per hectare.
    The Almond Board of Australia is calling on #NSW and #SA to follow #Victoria 's lead and impose a moratorium on new horticultural developments in the lower Murray. #DriestcontinentonEarth #driestcontinent
