HUGE slices of Victoria's premier irrigation districts could be mined for coal-seam gas.
Farm groups are seething, worried that mining could deplete or pollute aquifers. A Weekly Times investigation has revealed:
A MASSIVE swathe of the Macalister Irrigation District in Gippsland is covered by an application to explore for CSG.
MUCH of the Werribee irrigation district, in Prime Minister Julia Gillard's electorate, is under a CSG exploration licence.
HUNDREDS of square kilometres of Gippsland, stretching from west of Warragul to Yarram in South Gippsland, is covered by several licences.
