Logging and wood-chipping is having a devastating effect on this most precious resource. We take for granted our clear, fresh drinking water but pristine water catchments are required to maintain quality and supply. Logging in the Central Highland catchments threatens the quality and supply of drinking water for millions of Victorians. Logged areas have a fifty percent reduced water yield. Logging drastically reduces water quality.
Water is more valuable than timber.
Logging is destroying diverse eco-systems in the region and threatening numerous species of flora and fauna with extinction. Welcome to Stolenwater - a campaign to highlight the detrimental impact of logging on Victoria's water supply.
