The dissolved oxygen at all sites are still at a dangerously low level, all readings of the dissolved oxygen is below 3 mg/L. Below 3 mg/L fish kills can happen. The river flow in the Ngamaay River could cause health issues for fish. Full report: https://t.co/ooEGu1svAm

The Barwon & Namoi river meets at Walgett. A town with high population of aboriginal people. After 3 very wet years there is no drinking water & when shower in water leaves a greasy film.
Plus fish kill. Kid your self we don’t need a Royal Commission.

Terrible scenes at Menindee. Water Watch has been out at Menindee this weekend and will be bringing you an in depth look at how this kill has happened and what it it’s means for the community and the river.
@greencate Thanks for being there Cate and reporting. It must be horrific and heart breaking for local people. This is the best explanation I've found so far, from Richard Kingsford UNSW https://t.co/Z6Qi1JKrk0
Today & tomorrow will be interesting days in both Houses of NSW Parliament, when opposition to the latest Flood Plain Harvesting Regulations will be front & Centre.
These Regulations were cowardly introduced again when Parliament was in recess by NSW Water Minister Anderson
This is why the @sffAustralia need to support today’s 4TH disallowance motion today There’s a pretty compelling reason why this motion is happening again.
@SffRoy please decide to be on the right side of history. This is why we voted for you.

The NT must learn. Cotton wealth in NSW is not shared with the communities and species affected by it. Walgett has not even a decent town hall or civic building from this vast pillaged wealth. The rivers are turned into muddy drains. Drinking water, food ie life affected forever.
As we move deeper into drought is it time to rethink our centuries long (?) policy of trying to drain water off the land as quickly as possible, and instead trying to retain some, in wetlands?
Last night’s program covering floodplain harvesting regs and section 324 triggers with Shooters Fishers Farmers @SffRoy and @MaryanneSlatte1 is available wherever you get you podcasts!
