Dr Susan Lawler (Archaeology, La Trobe University) on the 'sludge factor': the environmental impact of mining on the rivers of Victoria.

The mining industry has always been a heavy user of water and water leaving the mines has always been heavily polluted.  In this seminar we trace some of the effects of mining on downstream river users and the long struggle to achieve a balance between the interests of mining, agriculture, and the broader community.
