  Bega River Junction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The town of Bega is built, not only beside the Bega River, but beside a huge aquifer occupying the river bed and surrounding flats, stretching from Kingswood to the coast along the river and nearly to the coast at Bournda along Penuca Swamp.
In the sandy part of the river, from Kingswood downstream to the tidal limit on Jellat Jellat Flat, the irrigators are able to excavate the river bed to form pumping holes.
However, the Brogo River is running because of the irrigation water being released from the Brogo Dam.

The NSW Government is currently changing area-based water extraction licences to volumetric-based licences and setting aside water for the environment by setting 'cease to pump' thresholds in unregulated rivers across the state.
Ensuring that there is at least a trickle in the river at all times, as this draft plan allows, will not benefit the river ecosystem.

Similarly there are 66 rivers that are considered to be under medium or high environmental stress due to loss of riparian vegetation, erosion and sedimentation, barriers to fish passage or decline of water quality which require rehabilitation.
The intent however, is not just to rehabilitate badly degraded rivers, lakes and wetlands but to also improve and protect the condition of the many high conservation value rivers and estuaries so that they are not degraded over time.
As a part of this, water resources (rivers, lakes and lagoons, wetlands and estuaries) will be: assessed and ranked according to their vulnerability by 2003; their protection status formalised by 2003; their status recognised in planning instruments by 2005.

On the Road to Fabric Timisoara, also called the town from the Bega river, is divided in districts by the navigable part of the Bega channel; the districts are linked by bridges built across it.
Long ago, the fortress town Timisoara was surrounded by lots of channels fed by the rivers Bega and Timis; as a result of the marsh configuration, under these circumstances the climate was unhealthy.
A couple of channels were left in the district Fabric to feed some mills and factories, enabling the transport of the wood and salt.
