Earlier this month, the locals in Menindee woke up to discover millions of fish had died in their neck of the Darling Baaka River. And it's not the first time this has happened. 

So what's causing fish to die by the millions this time? Last time it was blamed on the drought, but there's no drought now? So what is it? And what impact does it have on the locals living there? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if our river systems are sick and what can be done to nurse them back to health.
