I notice some of the countryside is partially cleared inc the power line easement, presumably for the higher water level when completed. Lots of trees left
. I remember when a dam in Gold Coast (S.E.Qld) hinterland was built, & all trees and housing was lost to the waters ( Advance Town was relocated on the range: but I guess much wildlife adapted while land/tree dwellers probably perished. Water is so important to society that we can loose sight of the big picture. I have a few tanks holding about 20,000 gals (Au) or 100,000 litres approx. One water authority fined a guy (local) for having too many tanks preventing water entering the storm water system! Really? what BS! Power gone mad.
