Goyder Institute Coorong Report
The Link below is to the Goyder Institutes report on the Southern Coorong with references to the whole Coorong and Lower lakes.
It is a convoluted and difficult document to navigate and written in a bureaucratic manner.
There are many links within the document and after following a link to another 4 times I found the information re management of the Goolwa Barrages only to inform me that under certain circumstances they will form a special committee to make a decision on what should happen under those circumstances.
They stated that the barrages were installed to create a navigable river for river boats and allow for irrigation when in fact it was built as a water supply to Adelaide.
They also mention the fact re the environment needing wetting and drying cycles, we all agree on that but not every 12 months or more frequent.
The Coorong along with Lakes Alexandrina and Albert require co-ordinated management and control and this is not practicable in isolation. This must also include a method of management of the River Murray from Lock 1, Blanchetown to the River Murray mouth at Wellington
