The
Sydney Morning Herald Feb 18-19 carried a full page article on the fact that the flow in the
Snowy River in February dropped from 275 megalitres to 70 overnight when the Hydro Scheme diverted the water from the Mowamba River back into their dams .
The SMH says no one new this was going to happen , but after doing some research and going to the site ,
http://www.snowyriveralliance.com.au/newsletter.htm#3
it appears that at least the people in the
Snowy River Alliance new about it and had been making submissions to the Government to stop the flow being redirected in February .
Does anybody know the real story behind this ? Putting water back into the Snowy is a great project and I would like to try and help them somehow .
Cheers ,
Willie .
