With floods progressing slowly downstream over such large areas of the Murray Darling Basin surely this is a time that all the various factions that over a decade ago GreenLabor wove into their MDB plan could let the current huge flows work naturally through the system which should result in a huge flushing of fresh … Continue reading MDB floods widespread but GreenLabor planning huge enviro flows
Drought and the Govts response is red-hot in the news lately and many claims are made re “worst drought ever”. BoM data is from their “Australian climate variability & change – Time series graphs” page. My chart indicates the Federation Drought was clearly worse in the Murray Darling Basin than the current event. It is … Continue reading Drought in MDB worse in the past
How the Nation is badly served by the GreenLeft media, Green biased water bureaucrats and useless knee-jerk green politicians. Bleating on about rainfall in normally dry summer months – beating up normal events like fish kills – failing to drive home that major problems are the mad environmental flows politicians have agreed to – invoking … Continue reading MDB was way drier pre 1950
I found the ALA water policy in a letter to the editor of the Griffith local paper – The Area News. Searched “Kirralie” but could no other mention of the ALA meetings.
Just now we are seeing a classic example of totally pointless Australian Government meddling – that can not do anybody – or the environment any good. The last decade has seen much publicity by the “expensive water lobby” – much talk of “worst drought ever in the history of the planet” etc etc we have … Continue reading MDB water-buy-back scheme redundant after rains
There is much comment in the Australian media about water shortages and prominent in this whole “debate” is the Wentworth Group, who are held out to be water experts and Professor Peter Cullen, of Canberra I think, often seems to speak for the Wentworth Group. I have just noticed a recent news item, copied below, … Continue reading Basic MDB rainfall data for the Wentworth Group
The ample MDB rains of 2022 following two good years have lead to the 46 Sydney Harbours (23,377GL) flowing into South Australia. www.bom.gov.au/climate/maps/rainfall/?variable=rainfall&map=percent&period=12month®ion=md&year=2022&month=12&day=31 This eye watering volume of fresh water has originated as rainfall. The MDB is ~1million sq km so if 500mm rain fell on average in 2022 that is 0.5GL x 1million or … Continue reading 46 Sydney Harbours in 12 months Murray R. flows to SA
The BoM has opened new www pages about the MDB and this “megafact” jumps out. mdbwip.bom.gov.au/999/#4.6/-31.5/147 1,061,469 km2 total area of MDB. 11,000 km2 irrigated area (2019–20) – 1% of total area. Our GreenLeft anti-dam brigade that now rules the wide brown land works hard to increase river water wasting to the sea. I will … Continue reading So irrigation is only 1% of the Murray–Darling Basin!!!
The Australian election on 18May2019 is for the least stupid Govt. These are the issues I have in mind feel free to add to the list. So my argument is that in all these examples GreenLabor will be obviously worse, change things faster and be more harmful to Australia than the messy imperfect Govt we … Continue reading Election is for the least stupid Govt.
ABC reports today The Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission is about to hand down its findings. Here’s how we got here. I am waiting to hear what content might emerge from this R.C. Fascinating too the connection to Eddie Obeid back in 2008 mentioned here on page 367 of the marvellous book “He Who Must be … Continue reading The Weatherill Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission and Eddie Obeid
