He said the release of water into the Darling from the Menindee Lakes had come just at the right time. Storage in the lakes is about 232GL and is expected to increase to about 400GL over the next few weeks. "With the water in the Menindee Lakes they could put a bit to South Australia, which would mean their needs from the Murray could be a bit less."

How much money would your stimulus plan put in the pockets of the average South Carolinian? CLINTON: Well, Joe, I'm glad you started with the economy, because that is the number-one issue.
