Dam refill a welcome sight for Stanthorpe food growers
The refill of the Storm King Dam has left food producers in Stanthorpe with “hope” for the future, says Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi.
“We have got a bit of hope here. We are a serious food producer for the east coast of Australia, especially for the summertime and we’ve got growers there now who have secured their future for a couple of years,” he told Sky News host Alan Jones.
“They will be very comforted by the amount of water that’s been coming down in the last few days.”

What a blessing 🥂🍾👍
Nice to have good news on occasion.
BUT BUT BUT... Penny Wong said that Australia's dams will "NEVER REFILL AGAIN"...!!!
Build more big dams, allow farmers to build collection dams (big holes) on their properties. Send water from the Spencer Gulf into Lake Eyre, that will green the whole of inland S.A.

It is criminal, the way we don't do more to hang on to the stuff when it does come and in the top end, it's there every wet season. It's time to go after the greens and their anti-dams policies. They get a mere 10% of the vote or thereabouts but thanks to our screwed-up electoral system they get way too much of a say.

Time to create an inland sea out of Lake Eyre. When full it has about the same salinity as the ocean...so build a canal from the gulf! Can't be done, is the catchcry. Meanwhile, I look at all those canals in the UK, France and Scandanavia constructed in the 19th century and think yeah nah, it can be done. All that heat will evaporate that water and create a climate and a wonderful flow-on effect.

how many petitions or campaign did you started ? postin on net fixes absolutely noting. actions count.
A lot of dams in south east Queensland should be connected to make sure it has a good supply of water . millions and millions of litres are lost on spillways when they overflow. Do that instead of worrying about the Oylmpic games.
That dam is so small it's crazy, give the people a better dam. Why wasn't it at least de-silted while it was empty?
Its not even a dam... looks like a small weir! They should have raised the wall whilst it was empty... another lost opportunity.
Why didn't State Governments freight water in by rail? Trucks are expensive, could've freighted in water by rail, especially now we can extract drinking water from the sea.

i would think you should build those dams about 20 feet higher if it only rains once a year.

Hopefully it will soak into the basin so the CCP can keep pulling water out of the ground just down the road. You all heard about that license being granted while this town was trucking in water right?
Wasted rain water from FNQ regions polluting coral sea could be supplying most of the East Coast needs. Expensive investment? Yes it is but how much money Au wasted already on ......
