Well a morning looking at how Hong Kong
manages water leaves me thinking we should get their advice. However it seems something along the lines I suggested was not thought to be a bad idea.. still looking into it but found this.
Plover Cove Reservoir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plover Cove Reservoir (Traditional Chinese: 船灣淡水湖), located in northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. Its main dam was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction, disconnecting Plover Cove from the sea.
Built in 1967, it was a former cove (bay, as the name suggests) and was a popular hiking site. One main dam and three service dams were built to shut the cove off from the sea. The cove was then drained and was converted into a fresh-water lake. Besides rain from its catchment, it also stores water imported by pipes from Dongjiang. The Bride's Pool flows into the Plover Cove Reservoir.
Well it seems the idea has been used so could we not do similar with Sydney Harbour???
Looking at the demand in Hong Kong makes our problems look small and now I think I know where the 1,000,000 engineers they turn out each year go for a job..the water works must take a few.
But shows what one can do if you are trying to do more than simply get re elected.
