The Narrabri gasfield poses a real risk to our two most precious water resources: the Great Artesian Basin and the Murray-Darling Basin. The area of the Great Artesian Basin with the highest recharge rates is almost entirely contained within the Pilliga East forest. In a worst-case scenario, the water removed for CSG extraction could reduce water pressure in the recharge areas--potentially stopping the free flow of waters to the surface at springs and bores across the whole Great Artesian Basin.

Creeks in the Pilliga run into the Namoi River--a part of the Murray Darling Basin. This system is vulnerable to contamination from drilling fluid spills and the salty treated water produced from the proposed 850 wells

A documentary about fracking look at this technology and how ingenious it is.
However the environmental impacts far outweigh this type of sourcing. Lives will be lost and the cost to healthcare system will be huge.

Stop polluting Australia Santos

I find this preposterous. This area should be kept pollution free for our future generations!

This Ian NOT sustainable. I want a future for our children

No.

I am totally against the Adani mine! Australia needs to start working towards energy that is not going to completely destroy our coral reefs, an not to mention the wildlife that is going to be displaced! It is an absolute joke how our government knew- 30years ago- the damage being done to the environment but have proceeded to ruin the environment for generations to come!

Stop drilling and fracking in sensitive areas. Leave something for the ones after us.

Please do not drill coal seams in this pristine beautiful place. The Pillliga must be left the way it is for the future of all Australian people and for the community that lives there and for overseas visitors that visit this region. Don't ruin more of our country. Be a leader for the environment not a destroyer.
Best intentions First.
