Queensland Artesian Water Problem Presses Call for Conservation
A Brisbane Courier Mail view notes a 44.1 percent drop in bore water since 1914 and warns that flowing bores are failing to supply summer needs. The piece urges urgent action and regional cooperation with New South Wales to conserve artesian supplies amid severe seasonal drought across the Downs, Darling Downs, and western districts. Fat stock prospects fade as prices slip while prime cattle and sheep face uncertain demand and export implications.
