I was amazed at the level of opposition to the planned desalination plant in Sydney, but even more amazed to find there is praise some support from Sydneysiders for the idea that water should come instead from an underground aquifer.
Read all about it in the Sydney Morning Herald, click here.
There are other options of course, including new dams and water recycling.
Does anyone know of a good study/report comparing the, at least, four options for water for Sydney?

It will all come out in the wash, as Don White had previously proposed and NOAA have just confirmed, the developing la Nina should bring higher than average rain fall

I don't find anything about this water situation to be amazing. Some of these pics of mexico city, however, I find amazing. Beauty alongside visible large-scale impacts of humanity:

Contrast Jennifer's interpretation of the SMH piece with that of Michael Pascoe in Crikey: "but there are plenty of more sceptical voices in the SMH warning that the aquifers are only good for limited help in the next drought emergency, never mind the cynicism about that fact that their sudden “discovery” is at best disingenuous."
There was no poor person to be affected by a new dam, Bob Carr declared the area near Braidwood a National Park, Sydneysiders were well pleased.
