>World Water Day, CSIRO presents the following 
>talk todayŠ
>
>Commencing 4pm at CSIRO Discovery Centre
>'The Murray River - Immense Possibilities'
>Presented by Dr Sarah Ryan
>
>About the talk: "The Murray River and its 
>tributaries form an immense inheritance for the 
>Australian nation. When fully developed and used 
>according to modern science they would maintain 
>a hundred millions of people in abundance." So 
>wrote J C Kirby in 1919 in eager support of an 
>irrigated beet sugar industry for the Murray. 
>Nearly 100 years on, with the rivers fully 
>developed and nary a sugar beet in sight, do we 
>still have this immense inheritance in the 
>Murray and its tributaries? What did science 
>contribute in that time, and what is left for 
>science to do?
>
>In this public talk, Dr Sarah Ryan, who leads a 
>large team of scientists in the Murray program 
>of the 
><http://www.healthycountry.com/Murray/index.htm>Water 
>for a Healthy Country Flagship, will reflect on 
>past aspirations and achievements of people in 
>the Basin, today's challenges, and the science 
>the flagship is doing to support wise decisions 
>about this rich inheritance.
>
>Please join Sarah for free afternoon tea in the Discovery Centre from 3pm.
>
>Sarah Ryan and scientists working on 'The 
>Murray' will be in the CSIRO Discovery Café at 
>lunchtime to answer any questions from the 
>public on issues facing the Murray and the 
>science being done to ensure its future.
