	Mopping up the great Snowy River tip - National - smh.com.au
		The Snowy Hydro electricity scheme was an amazing engineering feat, but few mention the damage the project inflicted on the environment, writes James Woodford.
		The Snowy Hydro electricity scheme is an icon of ingenuity and national effort, but it created a mess on a scale that beggars belief.
		No one doubts the Snowy Hydro electricity scheme was one of the planet's greatest engineering achievements but what has not been talked about publicly is the damage the project inflicted on the environment of Kosciuszko National Park.

	Snowy River Benchmarking and Environmental Flow Response Monitoring Project: Executive Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Snowy River Benchmarking and Environmental Flow Response Monitoring Project was developed to benchmark, then measure and monitor changes in the physical, chemical and biological features of the Snowy River as a result of environmental flow releases.
		First, post June 1998 sampling in the lower Snowy River at Sandy Point and Bete Bolong showed that floods with a peak discharge four times greater than the mean annual flood are important in mobilising sediment and hence, re-forming the channel boundary.
		This response is important because it is the size of the proposed flushing flow for the Snowy River, and therefore the model predicts channel change and sediment movement.

	Snowy River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Snowy River drains the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales.
		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.

		SRICCC (1993) reports that reduced frequency of flushing flows has increased sediment in the lower Snowy River and reduced the number and depth of water holes thought to be critical to breeding for Australian bass, though there is conflicting evidence about sedimentation characteristics since the construction of the scheme.
		A study of flow requirements in the Snowy River is currently being undertaken by the NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation, in conjunction with the Victorian Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority, in consultation with local communities.

		In some places, the Snowy River carries only one per cent of the water that it used to before the scheme was built.
		Eventually, the river flows will be restored to twenty-eight per cent, which is the minimum amount that scientists say the river needs to return it to good health.

	SNOWY RIVER SCHEME: Snowy River diversion - Governments' hidden agenda - 16 December, 2000
		This is all in sharp contrast to the proposals for corporatisation of the Snowy Scheme by NSW and Victoria, where the inland diversion of the Snowy River water is to be substantially reduced, and for a firm period of 75 years.
		In all these circumstances the Snowy Scheme was seen as an unwelcome competitor, particularly its capacity to sell into the grid in the middle part of the load curve, at the margin with thermal power.
		The Snowy River lobby in Gippsland, which was advocating the return of waters to the Snowy River, even if for quite obscure purposes, such as white-water rafting, were seen by the State governments of Victoria and NSW as providing a reason to reduce Snowy output.

		The scheme diverted the Snowy River from its origins in the Snowy Mountains through 225 kilometres of underground pipes, tunnels and aqueducts into 16 artificial dams.
		The Snowy River Alliance (SRA), formed in the early 1990s to campaign for the regeneration of the river, says the SRHS “turned the Snowy River, a beautiful mountain river, into a series of stagnating pools and sent the river’s ecology into a state of collapse”.
		Many of the river’s environmental, social, cultural and economic values have been lost, and the mostly empty river bed is now filled with silt, willows and flberries that choke the native trees.

	Snow job on the Snowy River - On Line Opinion - 23/11/2006
		In effect, all but 44,000Ml of the 513,000Ml that is diverted from the Snowy to the Murray is already compensated for by the increased runoff from clearing in the NSW portion.
		And it is this man-made increase in river flows that they are now seeking to convert to some sort of baseline for an environmental duty of care to minimise harm.
		The facts are that a 4 per cent reduction in river flows is almost statistically irrelevant in terms of the normal range of variation in rainfall and runoff.
