Farmers, politicians, and scientists from top Australian universities are urging the government to abandon major dam projects in New South Wales (NSW), citing serious environmental and economic impacts.
Professor Jamie Pittock from Australian National University (ANU) told The Lachlan Conference on Wednesday that the dam proposals, which include the expansion of the Wyangala dam near Cowra and the construction of the Dungowan dam near Tamworth, are wasting taxpayers’ money.
