	Snowy River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1950s, as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a network of dams was built to collect and divert most of the water of the Snowy through the mountains, to provide more water to the Murray River and Murrumbidgee River for irrigation and to generate electricity.
		During the 1990s the low level of water in the Snowy River was a major environmental concern in Victoria, with a political campaign to increase the water from one per cent to 28 per cent of its original flow from the dam at Jindabyne.
		An independent candidate from the Orbost district, Craig Ingram, was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly in 1999, and re-elected in 2002, on a platform to increase the flow of water in the Snowy River.
