24.01.2022 Hunter Water are holding informations sessions on the two new dam proposals, proposed for Chichester and Limeburners Creek. There will also be drop in sessions at various venues. I urge you all get along and fight to preserve our rivers.

22.01.2022 The environmental damage a dam would do to the whole fishing industry in Port Stephens, as well as the Ramsay Listed Wetlands, is completely unnecessary when there are more sustainable ways to supply water. Over 90% of Hunters water supply comes from this one river system ! Can we afford to have our river system compromised any more ? https://www.facebook.com/153059584741074/posts/3724165457630451/

22.01.2022 Hunter Water seems to have forgotten Tillegra was axed under the EPBC Act when the true impact on the environment was brought to light. https://www.newcastleherald.com.au//conflicting-accounts-/

13.01.2022 Isreal recycles 95% of its water, the Hunter, 13%. Jim Bentley has it ! "We shouldn't just be chucking it out to sea" (waste water). Time Hunter Water looked more towards global practices. https://www.facebook.com/153059584741074/posts/2710072732373067/

11.01.2022 Great to see the community focus on conservation, sustainability & the environment

10.01.2022 Hunter Water are currently investigating two new dam proposals on this river system.

How will this help the health and environment of our river systems ? ... https://www.facebook.com/153059584741074/posts/2926893494024322/

09.01.2022 Really interesting article on the decommissioning of dams in USA. Explosion of salmon and other fish populations have occurred as well as enormous benefits to the environment. https://www.bbc.com//20201110-the-largest-dam-removal-proj

02.01.2022 Make sure you head to the Hunter Water Community engagement survey on the Lower Hunter Water Security Plan, and have your say on securing a sustainable, environmentally friendly water plan for the future. As you all know 94% of the Hunters Water supply already comes from one river system. Time for Hunter Water to look at options such as recycling, stormwater harvesting, water tanks, etc ... https://hunter-water-community-engagement.ethelo.net//welc

02.01.2022 In roads in new technology are happening every day. New concepts will continue to develop and grow as outdated water supply options continue to prove inadequate in our ever changing world. Dams are outdated, have huge environmental and social impacts and are no longer reliable in the ever changing climate conditions. Now is the time to start exploring & investing in futurist water supply options. https://www.zmescience.com//solar-desalinization-array-91/
