Good report. And there is so much more to this subject it is hard to know where to start. River health requires much more than excess water flows. Why is it for example that wakeboard and speedboats are permitted on our rivers, the wash on the banks is enormous and does more damage than anything else to the banks of the Murray? Why do the environmentalists not raise questions about this issue? Does it interfere with their leisure, or with the (sacred cow) tourist industry? Everybody knows whether it is Amsterdam, London or Melbourne if you are going to have constant boat traffic on a river you need to wall its banks! But not on the Murray eh!
