The NSW Farmers association president says the Dungowan or Mole River dams - or raising the Wyangala Dam wall - have hellish prospects contrasted with the federal government's remarkable $5bn federal election pledge to build a dam to open up 60,000 Ha of irrigated agriculture at Hell's Gate north west of a marginal electorate in Townsville, Qld.
