Experiencing Interruptions?

Territory Rivers

The rivers of the Northern Territory are some of the last free-flowing tropical rivers in the world. But the threat of large-scale agriculture projects looms - which, if established in the Top End, will require huge amounts of water taken from already stretched river systems and natural floodplains. This documentary short looks at the science, cultural importance and wellbeing of some of the NT's iconic river systems - and the people, wildlife and environments that depend upon their survival.
