Prof Mike Young's talk, 14th April.

Prof. Young, from Adelaide University, gave an interesting and thought provoking talk to a packed Milang Institute on the 14th April.
His subject, "A Future-proof Basin - A new water management regime for the Murray-Darling Basin", about the need to rapidly re-organise the water allocation system in the MDB, produced many questions and lively discussion.

The powerpoint presentation of his talk and the paper on which it is based are at Prof. Young's site:
