Scientists have raised concerns about the accuracy of government water testing results from Menindee after a mass fish kill last month, with one saying if it were a first year university assignment, he would fail them.
The New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (EPA) this week released the long-awaited test results on six water samples taken from the Darling-Baaka River almost one month ago, on 21 March. The samples were collected five days after millions of fish were reported to be floating on the river’s surface around the town of Menindee in far west NSW.
