Silt catchment
Margaret Jones, Kalorama, The Age (letter), 25/4/2002
I am amazed that logging is occurring in our so-called pristine water
catchments. I find it hard to believe that activities are allowed in our
catchments that pollute our drinking water and reduce the yield in these
times of drought. No wonder so much chlorine is being added to remove pollution.
Is this the reason that the millions of dollars spent on building the
Thomson Dam are being wasted because the dam is filling with silt?
