The waters of the Darling river have dwindled in the past year, and sodium chloride (salt) levels have skyrocketed. Rainfalls have helped counteract this problem, but its nowhere near solved. The river has seen better days, as its waters have often been overused, pesticide pollution has tainted the water, and drought seems to be a constant looming threat. Due to all this, the river has hardly been able to flow. Also, a type of algae had poisoned the water and made it hard to drink. In fact, dark humour jokes have been made about the river being more algae than water! chemical runoff and sewage also infest the water, so I personally wouldn't recommend drinking the water, no matter how much you boil it.
