Australia - wet or dry : technical approaches to water supply in a highly variable climatic and geographic regime

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paperpeer-review

    Abstract

    This paper argues that the developments in water technology over the last 30 years have been substantial, and that there is much more to come. However, the major issues confronting planners and designers in management, that is, the socio-political and economic domains of water technology, cannot be ignored. We present some details about the Australian water environment, issues of water shortage, and related technology.
