Nature is providing us with what is needed but it seems we wish to just dump it into the ocean and then recycle it. It just does not make sense. I think a good oppertunity would have been when the build the motorways to incorporate some way to capture and pipe the water.

I saw this program on Discovery or NG about how the Dutch or Norwigens ( i think) build a wall along the ocean to stop flooding, and then developed the idea when they saw enviromental impacts. Now they are building houses that would float in a flood. This is for areas that why would wantonly channel flood water to and sacrifice. In order to protect the larger community. Surely Australians could engineer a solution to resovle or drought issues.

Like Alex says the problem is not the lack of water, but the way its captured, managed and used.
