Vice President of the Fishing Club, Robert Powyer said when you turn on the tap in communities such as Louth what comes out is something you might see in a third world country.

"Louth and Tilpa are absolutely dire at the moment, they're bathing in muddy water," he said.

"They don't even have water to have a nice clean shower." 

The water is drawn from a stagnant pool of the Darling River, which stopped flowing months ago, and where the government in December identified toxic levels of blue-green algae.

But with supplies from rainwater tanks dwindling, the town's 35 residents have no choice but to shower and wash their clothes in the murky waters. 

To help provide some relief, the fishing club are carting over 22,000 litres of fresh water to Byrock, Louth and Tilpa.

"We just thought with this hopefully we can get some clean water out there so they can drink and brush their teeth in nice clean water," Mr Powyer said. 

The water was purchased through the fishing club via donations received from the community and organisations. 

"It's all been donated by people, the Garden Hotel, different organisations, from individuals who have donated $20 to individuals who have donated in excess of $1600, so it's just a combination of everyone that's been put together by the fishing club," Mr Powyer said.

The vice president thanked all their sponsors and the community for their donations to help provide the relief. 

"I'd just like to thank our sponsors, like CAM and Laser who have donated the trucks to come out here, Inland Distributors who gave us the water at cost price, and to everyone who has donated money," he said.

"Thank you very much, it just means a lot to us, and hopefully it means a lot to the communities out there."
