Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.
It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up...
Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.
well, that answers my question about certain vintages of red wine ...I drink a lot of Aussie reds, Shiraz, particularly. Guess I'll have to stick to the Penfold's and Lindemans.
The problem with the recycled sewage plant proposed for Toowoomba is that it just would not work.
It is not possible to produce 11,000 ML of recycled water from 8,000 ML of sewage. Toowoomba City Council also had nowhere for the RO waste stream to go. Acland Coal did not want it. Singapore pumps its RO waste stream into the sea.
The plant could never have been built for $68 million - closer to $150-200 million would be more accurate when you take into account the hundreds of acres of evaporation ponds required which were not included in the budget.
Regardless of your view on recycled water use, the no vote in Toowoomba was correct because the proposal was a dud.
Fair enough John. . You will have noticed that this BLOG* (as are most) is high on opinion and low on facts. Thank you for some facts on that particular issue.
The water issue IS, however, becoming (or has become)critical in the Southern States so any and all ways of storage and/or re-use need to be thoroughly examined.
At the moment Adelaide is examining ways to capture and re-use the (x) gigalitres of Stormwater that currently just "runs out to sea".
