Karlene Maywald: The Future of Water in South Australia
The Presentation by Karlene Maywald is available as a podcast. You can also download a pdf version of her Powerpoint presentation.
The Water Research Cluster of the University of Adelaide hosted a public forum on the Future of Water in South Australia on 24 October 2007. I have created a more detailed blog on this event.
The presenters were:
- The Hon Karlene Maywald, Minister for Water Security and Minister for the River Murray
- Mr Chris Stathy, Managing Director of Philmac Pty Ltd
- Associate Professor David Paton, University of Adelaide
- Dr Rod Oliver, Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO
Minister Maywald spoke about the historically low flows in the Murray Darling Basin which, when coupled with the drought conditions in the Mount Lofty Ranges, threatens water security for the city of Adelaide. Her analysis was sobering, and it looks as thought Adelaide could run out of water in two years if there is not significant rainfall in the next 12 months.
