The pitifully regulated activities of gas-mining companies, including SANTOS, are threatening to devastate groundwater reserves in the headwaters of the Murray-Darling river system.
Thankfully, as a result of the Caroona Coal Action Group, out of sight is no longer out of mind. The group has made a submission to the federal inquiry into the impacts of mining and coal seam methane extraction in the Murray-Darling.
The document makes alarming reading and supporters are encouraged to circulate it widely and support demands that the energy industry is made to cease this environmental and social vandalism.The submission can be viewed HERE .
