Water trading, rights, management

The foamy waves in a rolling boilThe world's fresh water supplies are almost fully exploited.Almost al, 97 per cent, of the world's water is salt. Of the fresh water in the world, two thirds is locked up as ice and snow (the cryosphere - to you and me, kid!). Globally, three quarters of the water that is used is used by agriculture. India, China and the United States, use more fresh water than is available. The water level in those nation's aquifers is falling as a result.

The current food crisis has come about largely as a result as the shortfall in available water begins to impact on the cost of irrigation.

Repco Rally    BIT LATE FOR 7.30 report/ but protest as shown below anyway

The anti-Repco Rally protesters of the north coast are looking for your support. This weekend the Repco Car Rally is going to pass through national parks and the internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot of the Green Cauldron in North Eastern NSW.  Noisy, polluting, environmentally damaging cars are going to tear along the roads of some of the most beautiful parts of this state, containing endangered and vulnerable species,  during breeding time for many animals. As well as the cars there will be spectators and their vehicles, helicopters, media and extra police in the area.
