Although it\'s only a few days till the summer school begins I thought I\'d post the following li<x>nk which illustrates some aspects of the biggest water issue (as I see it) in at least the Eastern part of Australia at the moment. I\'ll explain some more in the \"Market Place\" section of the program but if you\'d like to have a look at some of the video clips it might give you some more of an idea of what we\'re currently facing.
The li<x>nk is www.abc.net.au/catalyst/murraydarling/
