- What is certain is that something will be needed sooner or later to address the problems of water.

What is your issue with this topic?

Desalinisation of the oceans have been happening for years.

Yes, but as the water crisis deepens will it remain the best way to provide needed water or will other methods supercede it?

Well, desalinisation plants have been put in place to make drinking water from ocean water. It's what they do during a water crisis. Other methods may come along in the future. But I doubt that there is much else that can be done to improve methods already in place.

Yeh, I expected this might be the answer but asked anyway just to keep up with it!

It pays to keep informed!

I would like to see an artificial river system placed throughout the interior of Australia. I know that we have dry rivers that fill and flow during the wet season. But couldn't there be plans for an artificial river system to at least flow into interior man made dams for the benefit of communities that live in those remote areas?
