| QWI propaganda has promised “a long term positive effect on the vitality of the Mary Valley area...” because of “enhanced access to water based sport, boating, trail based recreation (i.e. horse, bike or walking trails), and picnic and BBQ facilities located adjacent to the impoundment...” This has been accompanied by artist impressions of brimming dams and thundering spillways. Geomechanical experts predict that each year an estimated 3.2 metres of water could be lost to seepage, and 1.4 metres to evaporation, from a dam that would be, on average, only 5 metres deep when full. It’s hardly possible to imagine this dam as Brisbane’s water crisis saviour, nor as a prosperous tourist destination. |
