Why is it that all I hear from the pro-dammers is: ‘Save Our Dam’, ‘Build the dam’ or some similar three-word slogan? I have never seen any documentation or evidence to back up the assertions that a second dam on Rocky Creek might provide water security or flood mitigation.
Conversely, if you check out the WATER Northern Rivers website you will find scientific papers, video clips of water experts and solid evidence to back up the need for multiple water sources to supply sustainable water supplies to the four LGAs in the Rous County Council area.
