FOR an intelligent species we aren't so clever. How many years have we seen the same scenario of ignorance when it comes to reducing flooding to townships, the ability to regenerate drought stricken rural areas and the ability to protect our native fauna and flora from bushfire?
Forget the heightening of dam walls; if our governments had started installing and constructing numerous flood mitigation pumping stations with a network of pipelines from the dam and river systems from the coastal areas across the rural inland areas, flooding would be significantly reduced and the inland areas would once again be highly productive. Forget protesting about global warming, put your passion and energy towards something that would achieve concrete results, helping our communities.
