The river has priority. Why?
Acid sulphate soils. they exist in regions higher up the basin and once 
they are exposed and start leaching out, you are going to have continual, 
forever pollution of the river down stream. 

Unless starved, humans breed without bounds. The over allocation of water 
carried out by the NSW government has been for growing export crops 
rather than food security. Similarly with the QLD government and Cubby. 
Meanwhile the Vic government is happy to see it flushed down the 
porcelain thrones of Melbournians(sp?).
