N.S.W. OUT-BACK WATER STORAGE PROJECT
SYDNEY, February 23. The New South Wales Government has decided to build a water conservation system, costing £2,300,000 near Mesindie, on the Darling river. The Minister of Conservation, Mr Weir, said it would be the largest storage system ever undertaken in Australia and that it would supply water to over 1,000,00 acres of pastoral land between Menindie and Wentworth. . The premier, Mr J. McGirr, said that the scheme would be completed in six to eight years, but that the benefits would be available before that time. The plan involves the diversion ol the Darling river into Lakes Tandure, Menidie, Pamamaroo, and Cawndilla.
