Extracting large volumes of water from our complex ground water systems here in the Northern Rivers and putting it in plastic bottles so a private company can make a profit is not the in the public interest. Ground water is a natural resource that ought to be managed for its best use, taking it out of the system entirely is not the sort of sustainable development that we need in our Region.
There is significant community opposition to this type of water extraction development in our region and that opposition is building every day.
