Arid Lands Environment Centre (ALEC) and the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) were in town to talk with interested community members about water issues affecting the region, in particular, the Singleton Station water license decision.

Although the attendance was not large, there was plenty of interest, and those who attended were able to talk to talk to the representatives regarding their water concerns along with being able to learn more about water issues in the Barkly region.
