    WHERE HAS THE MURRAY DARLING BASIN'S WATER GONE?

    Excellent article, but it doesn't explain where or how the gov't spent $6.7billion buying back water. When they bought it back , where was it stored or allocated? I have a feeling we are being are bull****ted to and some one is making some money with nothing to show but statistics.

    May be due to the fact that we have not had much rain if any in SE Qld.

    It is my understanding that despite the lack of rain, a drought and farmers desperate for [government denied] irrigation water that the environmental flows continued unabated resulting in huge amounts of fresh water being dumped into the sea.

    I don't think so.
    If that was the case the Darling wouldn't have had the massive die offs that have occurred in the last two years.

    A mate is an agronomist at the other end (SA Riverland) and from his view the entire river management is a balls up, state and federal politics/vested interests end up not serving environmental/river health or farming interests on a whole.

    It's over here, in Perth, falling out of the sky.

    yeah , but I'm asking about $6.7billion spent on buy back water.

    It must have some substance or how can they buy it?

    Where is it? Who has it?

    The allocation is what was bought back, not the actual water!

    In other words, Don's got it in a couple of buckets, under the house.
