 In this video clip, learn about surprising new research that shows around 20% of water otherwise available to the Murray River alone can be withheld for decades. Bushfires in the Snowy Mountains periodically strip the highlands bare of vegetation, and the regrowth that follows soaks up more water than a mature forest, withholding large amounts of water for as long as 40 years. See how this problem might be avoided in the future.
