The Wire

A new report has found that every major capital city in Australia bar Hobart will have to find new sources of water within the next decade. The report, by the Water Services Association of Australia, also found that to tackle the water shortage, 30 billion dollars will need to be invested over the next five to 10 years. Executive Director the association, Ross Young, spoke with me earlier. We asked him if State and Federal Governments had implemented enough forward planning to tackle the problem of our diminishing supply of H2O.
