A Problem Too Close To Ignore

South Australia is where the River Murray ends, before the Murray Mouth the river spills into the Coorong and two lakes, Lake Alexandrina and the smaller of the two, Lake Albert. Recently a lack of rain has begun to have a visible effect as the lakes and Coorong begin to dry up. This poses many serious issues for locals and has an impact on tourism.

Really well done, I hope this gets wide spread attention across Australia.

Excellent production, giving a real graphic picture of what is happening to our river system. Well done. This is a National problem and it needs a National "fix"

Yep another great awareness raiser. Well done! The issue before us is how many more of these awareness raisers do we need to wake up to the reality of what is going on. The people who govern us are not capable/ responsible of turning this around. They are stuck in a system that is corrupt and unsustainable. They cannot lead out of what we are all witnessing. What are we the people going to do about that is the question?
