 | | The Snowy River diversion forms part of the Snowy Mountains scheme and the increased quantities of water in the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers make an important contribution to the availability of water for hydro-electric power generation and irrigation. |

| | A healthy river system would be impossible to achieve. |
