Water plan lacks long-term vision

Water plan lacks long-term vision: ACF. : "'If we had a properly balanced system where the right amount of water went to the environment, to irrigators and to townships, when faced with crises like drought, we would have much greater flexibility to re-prioritise our water usage without causing irreversible damage.'"
No one likes to hear I told you so, but Dr.Arlene Buchan is right. For years we have had some really dedicated, expert greenies. These conservationists and biodiversity experts have been saying the same thing and continuing their research and constantly reminding us about forests, natural habitat , water and waste. It is something we could have been working towards and it's something where we do have some very knowledgeable people. We need to utilise them. They do know what they are talking about. We need to incorporate them into programmes, committees, community action. Don't ignore them, why would you?
