Snowy River Alliance rejects Sydney water plan
In a follow up report to our blog on June 1st concerning the extreme water shortages in Sydney, Australia, the Snowy River Alliance has rejected the plan put forth by the water industry lobby group, the Australian Council for Infrastructure Development.
The head of the Snowy River Alliance, Jo Garland, has dismissed a proposal to pipe water from the Snowy Mountains to Sydney as a "grand plan" that makes no sense.
"It's a bit scary when people come up with these grand plans. I mean, we're getting water that's currently wasted in the system to try and revive the Snowy River," she said.
"It's the end of a 15-year campaign that the Snowy River doesn't die, so I don't think they'd be getting that little bit of water. It wouldn't be much on the scale of things to help Sydney," as reported by ABC News.
