	AM - Murray River mouth may close
		The once mighty Murray River has been reduced to a trickle, with the mouth almost certain to close for the first time in over two decades unless drastic measures are taken.

		The flow that's coming down the Murray River is coming out of storage, is not from natural rainfall this year.
