A report in today's Sydney Morning Herald states, that following the recent
floods, agreement has been reached between NSW and SA governments on water
flows through the Darling River. NSW lakes Panamarro and Wetherell will be
allowed to fill but not Menindee. Quote "when the lakes are full they are
home to more bird species than Kakadu".

Flows of up to 148 gigalitres will also be spared for further
downstream which is expected to refresh SA's ailing Lower Lakes, keeping
them "above their survival minimum for a year"
