Geoskid, not sure if you actually clicked through to the blog post, but there are at least six links included which will provide you with more info.
Two that I'd recommend you try clicking would be the Infrastructure NSW document (their 20 year plan for the state) that has put the dam raising back on the agenda: http://www.infrastructure.nsw.gov.au/st ... ategy.aspx (the water specific section is here: http://www.infrastructure.nsw.gov.au/me ... _print.pdf)
The other area that covers off a whole lot more detail are the fact sheets on the Colong Committee website: http://www.colongwilderness.org.au/dont-raise-dam
Do I need to make the links stand out more on the blog post? Or as I suspect did you simply not click through that far and instead just decided to have a dig...
