Panel event on the Chowilla Dam – 21 May

What would have the Riverland been like if Chowilla Dam had gone ahead in the 1960s?

What happened to Chowilla Dam? Billed in 1960 as the antidote to SA’s water security issues, by 1971 plans were shelved, the tramway pulled up, and Dartmouth Dam in Victoria was the front runner.

As part of SA History Month, we have curated an absorbing presentation surrounding the history of the Chowilla Dam. Come hear our panellists talk about that whirlwind time when salinity, water security, and economic survival were hot topics on the political agenda.

Wednesday 21 May 3.00pm, Renmark Paringa Library, with light refreshments provided. A video of the event will be available for those who are unable to attend
