Talk:Snowy Mountains Scheme

|
Yep, give me a day or two and I should be able to fill in the requested details. I am also aware that in mordern politically-correct speech that hydro-electric schemes are seen as evil to the envirnoment; but that was not the engineers nor even the politicans orgional intent. I will try to find figures for both its 'benefits' and damages for the benefit of people without local knowledge of the current issues.

Moved from article:
I moved the following list (presumably a to-do list for missing stuff in the article) from the article page:
- Details of the scheme (pictures required).
- History of proposal and construction.
- Huge number of immigrant workers, many deaths.
- Economic impact.
- Current operation (privatization, recent diversion reduction).
- Explain motivations for scheme (Australia's part in a joint Commonwealth Atomic Bomb project, ect.)
There's nothing wrong with compiling lists of missing stuff, but that sort of thing does not really belong in the article itself -- Ferkelparade π 09:34, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Water flows in SA
With regards to the increased water flows down the Murray, I believe that South Australia was instrumental in getting this through. Alphax τεχ 09:34, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
