Communities, scientists and conservationists across Australia continue to express concern about the impacts of extractive industry on water and the environment. This concern is widespread largely due to extent of extractive industries across nearly all states and territories of Australia and the relatively weak regulation of this industry.
EDO welcomes the opportunity to assist the Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications (Committee) with its inquiry into Water use by the extractive industry (Inquiry).
