Parts of regional NSW could run out of water as early as November as the state faces a drought of"unprecedented proportions".
The Macquarie River experiences an average inflow of 1448GL annually but in the past two years has seen just 97GL enter the river system, data seen by AAP shows. Ms Pavey pointed to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan which is"tearing communities apart" as water flows through Queensland, NSW and Victoria to South Australia which she says is a"full of water".
The data shows that Menindee Lakes - which is a source of flows for the Lower Darling - received just six gigalitres of water in the past year.The lakes sit within the town of Menindee which experienced mass fish deaths along the Darling River last summer.
Cotton is the word.
suthernx I suggest that any significant community whose water reserve has dwindled to six weeks supply, has effectively already run out of water and should be responding in kind.
So why are they still building houses which all require water? CWD_Orange
