Freedom of information documents reveal farmers are being denied access to a river system Adani plans on drawing 12.5 billion litres of water from in what activists are labelling a “double standard”.
Documents show modelling used by Adani didn’t take into account rainfall data and the impacts of climate change, with Government assessments revealing Adani’s water use could be a threat to endangered ecosystems.
Access to water in Central Queensland’s Suttor River by Adani equates to just less than the amount of all farmers in the region combined.
