Water for Rivers | the Global Crisis
The issue of water and that of rivers is a global one, that affects each and every person!
Most countries are doing what they can to reverse and rectify the crisis we have in rivers, usually with huge obstacles!
One such main river in crisis, in Australia is the Murray-Darling Baaka River – Queensland,
NSW, Victoria and South Australia. Three ICA friends are joining the Baaka Water for
Rivers Convoy this month – a small group of concerned and committed folk, with their home made boats! There will be a report, photos and poetry at the end of the trip in early May.
You can read about the crisis for one river, and join the global movement, “saving our rivers”.
The movie – doco “River” beautifully, powerfully, tragically, depicts this global crisis have played in trying to protect the sacredness of rivers, up to the present day crisis. Its opening line: “1000’s have lived without love, no-one has lived without water”. This movie is in cinemas in Australia now, and maybe on Netflix later.
