Hurry Save The Murray!

The Australian Conservation Foundation created an open forum in Adelaide tonight where scientists met politicians and debated river issues in the upcoming Aug 21 federal election.

* Don Henry, CEO of ACF put the bigger picture of the Murray-Darling Basin
* Dr. Mike Geddes focused on the health of rivers and wetlands and made a plea for an end of system flow.
* Prof Diane Bell spoke of the stories - Indigenous, ecological and technological - that frame our understandings of Water as a commodity and the River as a living system. She juxtaposed a ‘rights in water’ approach to a ‘responsibility for the river’ approach.
