NSW government should also consider having additional desalination plants and plan for new ‘rainfall-independent’ water sources, report says
But it said the government needed to consider purified recycled water projects for drinking, as many other cities now do.
It said while a “very substantial” network of dams existed, “meeting the demand for water from a growing population means that we can’t rely solely on these dams and the Sydney desalination plant to meet all our future water needs.” “While this does not create an immediate risk for greater Sydney because dams are currently full and we have time to plan and act, we need to progress a range of responses in the short term to support growth and enhance resilience.”
