Water is an issue for regional towns, for Adelaide, for the people around the Gulfs. The 'Guidelines for Murray-Darling Basin Plan' are due on 8 October 2010. Will we see a clear commitment to restoring health to the mighty Murray? Or will the clamouring of competing interests dilute the resolve? How do we un-imagine a century of mismanagement in the name of development? How can we create sustainable flows through the system to ensure the well being of the River? What about the communities that depend on this life-system?
The River, Lakes and Coorong Action Group Inc. invites you to participate in 'The People's Forum on Water'. This is a community-based initiative to model engaged communication. The Forum will be an exercise in deliberative democracy. Concerned community members, artists, lawyers, Indigenous Peoples, scientists, politicians and bureaucrats will work together to prepare a response to the 'Guidelines'.
