About

Stop your Catchments cracking up! Stop your drinking water draining away, prevent water catchments cracking up!

A question of survival.
Pure fresh water is our most precious natural resource. But intensive ‘longwall’ underground coal mining is now causing cracking of stream beds and under swamps, with water loss and pollution in several NSW drinking water catchments. The intensive coal mining is also cracking key water supply structures and more damaging mining is planned. Help stop the damage to the water catchments for Sydney and Wollongong.
