blackadder if you want a water scheme refer to that put forward by Bradfield (of sydney harbour bridge fame)to turn back the rivers inland. Cost several billion dollars but has been rejected by the greenies.
What about giant solar power stations to generate pollution free energy at at the same time developing a whole new green industry we can export as ecomonies of scale have been achieved. worst is that an austrlaian based concept has been launched in california. NSW instead wants to spend 10's of billions on new subway so it can win votes when alternatives are not considered.
then there is bio-char, to turn waste into gas and charcoal to be used by agriculture and locking in CO2 into the ground for 5000-10000 years and making agricultural land better. Again austrlaian technology
