what is the solutions to the water shortage?

Question

Australia is currently in the grip of its worst drought since Federation. Different parts of the country are affected in worse ways than others. However, governments across the nation have generally faced the problem of developing both short and long-term solutions to the water shortage.

As a result, the Queensland Government has decided to conduct an inquiry into the water crisis in Queensland. It is seeking submissions that put forward solutions to the water shortage. Such solutions might include: the imposition of severe restrictions on personal and commercial water use; building of more dams; the construction of desalination plants; sewage treatment; greater use of “grey water” for everyday household use; and the introduction of more market-based instruments to regulate water usage.

You have been asked to prepare a submission that develops policy solutions to the water shortage. Make sure that it considers the impact on business sectors and the community. Potential clients include:

•Australian Water Association
•Australian Conservation Foundation
•Commerce Queensland
•Friends of the Earth Australia
