Re: Dry South Australia buys in water
Then why does everyone say that QLD was going to be the first state in Australia to do it ?
Too many people actually THINK they are already doing it, and have been complaining about Queenslanders not wanting it.
Yet, those people are WRONG. It is about time they realised they are talking out of the the future source of their recycled drinking water.
and for other States:

SOUTH Australia will have to consider turning sewage into drinking water to deal with the worsening water crisis, one of Australia's leading water experts says.
South Australia would be following the lead of Queensland if it began recycling sewage to boost reservoirs.

Recycling across Australia
Wastewater has been recycled and used in Australian towns and cities for decades, but usually for watering recreational facilities such as parks and golf courses.
Toowoomba, QLD, would have been the first city in Australia to use recycled sewage for drinking water.

In the first project of its kind in Australia, recycled water will soon account for up to 25 per cent of southeast Queensland's drinking water.

Should Victorians drink recycled waste water?
Victorians will not be drinking recycled sewage this decade - and maybe not in the first half of this century - as Premier Steve Bracks yesterday bucked the Prime Minister, who is leading the recycled charge.

A brave West Australian Government is considering asking its residents to at least think about drinking recycled sewage water.

Re: Dry South Australia buys in water
So does Queensland. The first commercial farming use of recycled effluent water began in QLD in 1992.
The article is about South Australia having to buy in emergency DRINKING water. If it is that bad, why do they not consider drinking recycled effluent ?
They can buy it from our supplies, as we no longer need it

On a planet where two thirds of it is water, how can we be running out...
