High Impact Coal Mining - Cracks and Potholes

(Above)  Fractured pothole on Wongawilli  Creek shows the stream floor has moved  10 cm showing the massive forces at work.  (Left)  Many large cracks from longwall coal  mining fracture the bed of Wongawilli Creek,  draining the water out of the creek.

Unless the streams in our water supply catchments are protected coal mining will imperil our water supplies during droughts.
