Govt releases Beetaloo basin aquifer water allocation plan based on manipulated data

The Fyles Government has released its water allocation plan for the Georgina and Wiso basins, which was a requirement to permit fracking in the Beetaloo basin, but the government has manipulated the aquifer re-fill data produced by a hydrologist it employed, to only include the last 50 years, which is skewed by an extremely large recharge caused by Cyclone Tracy.

The allocation plan covering 2023-2031 allocates 1.68 trillion litres of water, or 1.68 teralitres (TL) over eight years for the area covering 155,000 sq km, or more than twice the size of Tasmania.
