A report by the Natural Resource Management Board of the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin is warning the Australian government that unless the current drought is brought to an end and large amounts of rainfall are received by this coming October, the Coorong wetlands and southern portions of the Murray and Darling Rivers will be permanently damaged and non-recoverable. Australia’s federal government is now looking to more urgently take action by possibly purchasing water to replenish the river system.

We extend our concern for the recovery of the Coorong wetlands and Murray-Darling Rivers. We pray for Heaven’s blessing of rain and may the Australian government act quickly to help supply the river with much needed water.
