Waratah Rivulet - Environmental
Vandalism |
|
| |
The impact of
longwall coal mining subsidence on a river
system.
Waratah Rivulet
is a stream that is located just to the west
of Helensburgh and flows into the Woronora
Dam from the south. Along with its
tributaries, it makes up about 29% of the
Dam catchment. The Dam provides both the
Sutherland Shire and Helensburgh with
drinking water. |

Cataract River -
Pollution from longwall coal mining |
|
| |
In the mid 90's
the Cataract River flow totally disappeared into the cracking in
the river bed to a depth of some 500 metres into the mine
workings. Methane and ethane gasses were expelled from the
ground measuring up to 20 litres per second in some areas. TV
reports showed at the time that the gas was sufficient to BBQ
sausages on.
