AUSTRALIA: March 8, 2007
Cracks are seen in a dried-up dam near the western New South Wales town of Parkes, located over 400 kilometres west of Sydney. Australia's longest river has lost half its natural water and it is predicted to dry up by a further 20 percent due to climate change by 2030. Dams and other irrigation projects along the Darling River, the lifeblood for many of Australia's farmers, has dramatically reduced water flows as the country continues to be gripped by one of its worst droughts in a century.
