Desalination is a hot topic at the moment and has been for a little while here in sydney.
With water levels in sydneys dams at an all time low and not seeing a bright future for them, desalination is said to be the future of water supply for a portion (at least ) of sydney in the form of a delsalination plant at Kurnell.
The questions are, is this just an easy way out or do we have no choice? should we use less water? what are your thoughts on this?
are there other alternatives?
a desalination plant would create quite a few jobs and eleviate the water restrictions currently in place most likely. there seems to be very little in the way of environmental impact in the creation of such a plant... maybe water rates would drop too.
but then would we just go about our old ways of wasting this resource? it'd be near endless in supply after all....
discuss the implications and kyour views here
