Скачать или смотреть Sydney Drinking Water under threat from Coal Seam Gas Mining

Do you live in Sydney & drink water? Concerned residents are standing up against the NSW State Governments plans to approve over 150 Coal Seam Gas (CSG) wells to be drilled within the drinking water catchments!

The Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson has overhauled Sydney Catchment Authority board and she has not appointed anyone with medical qualifications. It is the first time since 1998 that the board has not included a public health expert. Even more concerning, a person with umpteen mining directorships, Mark Bethwaite, is appointed to head up the Sydney Catchment Authority.

On 12 July 2013 we had a huge win for the campaign to stop CSG and protect our water! The Planning Assessment Commission refused Apex Energy's application to drill 16 CSG wells in and around the drinking water catchment for greater Sydney. 2013 is an election year in Australia - if you act now, you can make a huge difference in ensuring Coal Seam Gas mining is stopped within all of our water catchments. Write or speak to your local MP about your concerns on this issue. And join your local Stop CSG group to see how else you can get involved! http://stopcsg.org/ourwater/
