The pumps will be getting an oil change to stop that wasted water going downstream

Are you getting ready to board Jandra?

Its a river not a irragation channel. Flood plains is were the rivers flood over the banks into the forest and water spreads over the dry lands farmers padlocks thats haven't see rain for years and into the creeks and billabongs that spread out for 100s of kms to parts that has not had water in them for a long time . Its apart over the lands water intitments and bring on our wet springs and our weather and our environment and what it means to our country or rivers Give us back our water and give us back more water for a healthy river system . At what cost to NSW Victoria. and South Australia. As our state's relys on floods from Queensland, And we say goodbye to the channels country when the destory it from dams cotton and mining This rain fall events was predicted 2 years before the first flood happened in Queensland. Black box flood pains spreading for thousands kms right across our land from this flood pains thunderstorms spreading rain for thousands kms right across our land up into the mountains then regenerate the creeks and rivers and streams fill our dams and regenerate our forest why are dying because we have stopped this. You live on flood pains it floods. Its not about your area its the whole country that suffers from greedy destroying our land for future generations. Its not wasted water water its half of the property water entitlement that is natural floods events happen every 12 years . Flood plains harvesting is killing our rivers system and making droughts longer and more difficult to cope with . Water from the floods belongs to every one along the entire river systems from streams creeks billabongs and our rivers. Taking water from all the lakes along whole river systems is destroying the nature ecosystems along the entire country and this rain events happen that benifts all Australia. There are report the cirso have that the damming rivers stopping the annual flooding across our whole river systems has lead to the increasing dryers years droughts and worse bush fires and it's in black and white for all to see. Not only the people along whole river systems but people in the areas of the thunder storms path in Gum bark coolibah country north of Griffith to north of cobar rely on the thunder storms as apart of annual rain fall and its easy to see in last ten years or so with out flooding of the darling river this areas have suffered the worse from drought. Its not rocket science that thunderstorms follow the river systems and the lack of trees and flood water this the less rain fall , this rivers are the life blood of our community and country. Evaporation is apart of our country with out it many places will remain dryer . As i said 2 years ago droughts will break from.the north and as every river systems fills and floods starts the next river system to do the same and so on . In the months few weeks more rivers would flood but for big dams that have been emptied with in 3 years . All major dams should not be aloud to drop below 33% they should always be 67% full at all times and the lakes along the rivers should never be empty. A water should be return to all creeks and stream along the entire river systems that have been let die . Environmental floods and flows can coexisting with irragiton and at the right time of the year . Each rivers systems need to have own set of water allocations and proven crops by all farmers along the whole river systems get a share allocation But the dam will fill over the next year BUT needs to last for 10 to 12 years . No ones against irragiton but what water is used for dairy rice wheat stone fruits etc are food crop and should have water set aside Our river systems need to work out better plans for the healthy river systems. Weather is created from the flood plains that will give us our spring thunder storms. With out them our forest will burn again . Trees for life and lungs that breath out oxygen what people may not understand why the rain clouds form more once traveled over large tree stands to the forests is the fact that the oxygen vapour of the sort that the trees produce are lighter than air and in turn un into rain clouds and drift up high into sky . To understand climate you have to understand the land we live in . Large scale land cleaning is have many effect, wind drying out the soils faster rate and blowing good top soil away for our farms . and one the worse is reducing the amount of rainfall over ones farms from storms or rain events moving to fast across our lands from over clearing . WIND the widowmake of deserts every drought worse than the last one . This was realised 20 years ago that the next generations of Australian to see the effect of this . If these rains don't take place because of the loss of our forest that no longer collecting vapours and our land drys out and the risk of bush fires is to be expected our forest need rain too . I've work in the bush as my family has for generations and the knowledge i share with you all is to understand your land that walk on . Respect it and it will feed and cloth you and your family destroy it and we will all pay . Stephen McGrath
