it's ridiculous.

Because gas is a ..... well gas and easy to move around, where as water is not, at least not through long pipes.

Coal burning climate collapse will lower the water levels further. Welcome to the new norm ... anarchy. When people are ready, we must remove the weakest link : trust. Blockchain water rights, so they can not be manipulated.

nah ... we have the mechanical know how to pump water anywhere if we wanted to. The real reason is govt. is waiting for private enterprise to do it, private enterprise won't do it because there's not enough money in it for them. When water costs the same as gas, companies will be tripping over themselves to do it.

That water is going to be as expensive as beer by the time it has been pumped from one end of the country to the other.

who ever came up with the MDB plan should have known about the cotton farms..and how much water they would need......

the farms have been allocated a set amount of water every year. It's up to them what they grow.
Farms taking what they need is the cause of the problem.

they were growing cotton long before 2012....what do you wan t more Aussie industry going overseas?

this is something someone with a clue should have seen coming thats what i am saying...

the first fleet brought cottonseed to OZ..

as you have said THE FARMS TAKING WHAT THEY NEED...

exactly....all I know is we have killed one industry after another.. Angry

Frankly cotton growing in the MDB is idiocy of the highest order, just followed by the MIA and all the rice.

Dear Cods,
you need to watch the 4 Corners show.

There was massive environmental destruction down stream because of these thieves
who have lined their pockets with 10s of millions of dollars
from cotton money.

How come politicans & public servants were helping them out?

Were there any brown paper bags full of cash passed under tables?

and that is why we have a problem with the murray system. Cotton is the wrong crop for that area.
They're not going to move the farm overseas if they can't grow cotton Cods, they're going to plant something else.

Babies being born today have the potential of 500 - 1000 year life spans due to medical advances in the pipeline.

You're wrong again.
