"A water war is brewing in the Northern Territory – and the battle centres
around a line on a map.
Where the line is drawn determines how much groundwater is available for
irrigation, mining and gas extraction. The line currently runs through the
middle of the resource-rich Beetaloo Basin.
There are recent indications that the NT government will effectively move the
line, potentially allowing for substantially more water to be extracted by gas
and other industries.
This could cause long-term and irreversible damage to springs, wetlands and
rivers upon which people and ecosystems depend."
