Overall, the project found that the poor river condition in most indexes was due to the alteration of natural flow by water extraction and river regulation.

The Government is trying to push through changes that will weaken our environment laws.
This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.
