Talking about effluent in the Big Dry.....


Every few years it seems that somebody wants to turn one or another New South Wales coastal river inland against the wishes of the majority of coastal dwellers.
Well, for about 40 years there has also been an alternative idea doing the rounds under the radar so to speak - pumping treated effluent via a pipeline through the Great Dividing Range into the Murray and Darling river network.
So that this now almost potable water goes inland rather than into coastal rivers and the ocean.
