When The River Runs Dry

Synopsis

When the River Runs Dry shines a spotlight on the appalling water plans and rights used in Australia. The Government, the big-business greed of selling of water, and the Murray Darling Basin Management are responsible for implementing those plans in this documentary, which culminated in the ‘decommissioning’ of the Menindee Lakes, a 30-million-year-old lake system, much of it within a National Park. When the River Runs Dry is a pivotal moment in Australia’s environmental history that shines a light on what is happening and shows the national and international audience that we, as a country, need to bring this immense, beautiful and remote river system back from the brink of catastrophe.
