Wouldn't it be easier to catch the salt free water that FALLS OUT OF THE SKY?

^^ the question is, where do you catch this water.

More seriously, if weather belts continue to move polewards as a result of Global warmng, Victoria will have a climate akin to that of Geraldton or (even worse) Carnavon WA. Which would make new dams even less rewarding.

The CSIRO Atmospheric Research Unit predicted these trends five years ago.

Spending the money giving people household water tanks. Plenty of water falls on my roof.

As for the global warming thing, you know desal plants use massive amounts of power right?
