Diversion of Snowy River to Murray Urges Growth
A public meeting in Cobram heard farmers and irrigators argue for diverting Snowy River water into the Murray Valley, contending it would yield 800000 acre feet for irrigation and 650000 kilowatts of hydro power. They claimed benefits include 72000 bread winners and substantial rises in Victoria’s agricultural output.
