I'm (mostly) with Stinky, from what I've seen, desalination is not an option for Sydney's water problems. Regarding the 1000 galon water tank, to be of much use that would have to be at least 5000 gallons, even that would be too small for self sufficiency all year round. A 5000 Gallon Tank can be had for under $2000, not out of reach of the average household. The answer really is to address the problems that are causing water shortage that is population increase and climate change and to encourage more recycling of water. It's absurd to throw away good water simply because someone has showered or washed clothes in it.
