Sydney recently got it's own desalination plant. Before construction commenced, the debate raged in Parliament and within the community as to whether the best way to solve Sydney's water shortage problems was via desalination or recycled sewage. I was always in favour of the former option myself. I mean, Australia is an island, surrounded by great oceans on all sides. The City of Sydney sits upon the very shores of the vastness of the South Pacific Ocean. It seemed logical to me that we should go down the desalination route. And besides, the prospect of drinking recycled sewage never did much appeal to me. Yetch!
