LOUTH, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 21: An aerial view as Garry Mooring feeds his sheep on February 21, 2019 in Louth, Australia. Local farmer and landowner Garry Mooring has lived in the region for sixty years and has a deep understanding of the land. During this time he has observed the changing conditions along the Darling River and he along with other local farmers and community members feel angry and disappointed with the mismanagement of the Murray-Darling River basin. Mooring believes the river is the lifeblood of the community and there is a need for federal policy change not just state. Local communities in the Darling River area are facing drought and clean water shortages as debate grows over the alleged mismanagement of the Murray-Darling Basin. Recent mass kills of hundreds of thousands of fish in the Darling river have raised serious questions about the way WaterNSW is managing the lakes system, and calls for a royal commission.
