QuestionView source ↗
(1) Have landowners on the Southern/Wungong River recently been advised that they are now able to draw water from the river between 6.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m. each day?
(2) Under natural conditions, would the Southern/Wungong River normally be dry at this time of year, without any flow of water moving down the river?
(3) If yes, why is water being discharged down the Southern/Wungong River?
(4) Why are unnatural environment conditions (involving water flow at a time of year when natural flow would not occur) being created when no discharge of water down the river would be the preferred environmental outcome?
(5) To what purposes is water extracted from the Southern/Wungong River being put?
