As an engineer with almost 30 years&#8217; experience in the field of flood-plain management, I would find the reports interesting reading.

The latest image depicts part of the re-location of the Mary Valley Highway near Kandanga. “We’re very proud of this artist’s impression” said QWIPL CEO Graeme “half-a” Newton. “A lot of people think that all of our skills base resides in river hydrology and dam engineering. But I think this drawing will prove to our critics that we are equally skilled in road design”.

Lawyers for the band said that the evidence was clear - all of the government&#8217;s policies over the last several years were obvious rip-offs of the band&#8217;s No. 1 hits, and a blatant breach of the band&#8217;s intellectual property rights.

Many of us have recently attended the Office of Urban Management planning sessions and are extremely surprised that you have been left with the impression that we are “accepting” this ill-conceived, scientifically unsupported, yet to be approved swampland puddle. We see no “potential” in being left adjacent to the proposed wasteland.

Proposed changes to the way countries&#8217; climate budgets are calculated aim to take greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs into account, but some experts worry that they will not go far enough.

The green image of hydro power as a benign alternative to fossil fuels is false, says Éric Duchemin, a consultant for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). &#8220;Everyone thinks hydro is very clean, but this is not the case,&#8221; he says.

Acting Premier Anna Bligh yesterday inspected the site for the new Cedar Grove Weir, saying that detailed planning was well underway for the proposed dam at Traveston Crossing in the Mary River Valley and the Wyaralong Dam near Boonah.
Bligh said the Government was working cooperatively with landowners in the Traveston area to make the purchase of land needed for the new dam and currently had reached agreement with 184 property owners.

McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) were SunWater&#8217;s construction contractor for the pipeline.

Minister for Natural Resources and Water Craig Wallace said workers had battled extreme heat, rugged terrain, isolation and drought to construct one of the largest water pipelines in Queensland&#8217;s history.
