Was just wondering whether anyone else has thought about it and thinks it's a good solution to the water crisis in Australia.
North Queensland, particularly in the Hervey Bay and Rockhampton areas, has been having record rainfalls for years whilst the southern parts of Australia have been drought stricken.
They have a similar pipeline running through Western Australia... from Perth to Kalgoorie if I remember correctly. The longest water pipeline in the world I think.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to build a pipeline along the railroads from North Qld to Victoria?
Someone told me the idea had already been suggested by the now President of the Carlton football club (A billionaire), ten years ago, but was rejected because politicians and the banks thought it was a nutty idea and too costly for so little in return.
To me... we should be taking advantage of the water that we have and the longest pipeline should be built along the East Coast of Australia to solve the drought crisis. And we wouldn't even have to drink sewerage water.
