Australia has been investing quite hugely in both water recycling and stormwater harvesting projects after the 10 year ling drought during 1997-2007. Demand management has also proven a very successful strategy to minimise the water wastage at household level by bringing down the residential water demand by 40% in Melbourne. I think the answer lies in diversification of water supply sources and supplying fit-for -purpose water for various demands.Regards, Meenakshi Arora
