There aren't any schemes afaik to network water resources from FNQ.

Any more dams built are built on assumption that there will be rain to
fill them.
More rain isn't guaranteed.

I don't know what "the usual Greenie rubbish is" but think looking at all
aspects of any proposition & listening to all pro & con debate is fair,
rather than dismissing with ridicule.

SEQ needs water.

Dam the Mary River and any other river that provides a good
source of water. Infrastructure satisfies requirements.

If the greenies don't want dams then go suck the sap of a leaf
and the majority of us will appreciate the reticulation of our
needed lifeblood of water.

Stop being regressive and go hug a tree.

More rain isn't guaranteed?
There has always been rain and there always will be.
Climate is changing.

Dams are storage areas.
No storage, no capacity to store, and no water saved.
Fair enough.

Its like saying no point in saving, as you're not guaranteed a job.
If you don't earn enough to cover your bills.

So you make things happen.
We at least are able to reverse trends, but alas I see attitudes need to
be changed as it's going to have to be on a large scale.
Sure.

On you point, we should also then remove what dams we have.
Why remove existing ones???
Then go chasing the rain with buckets to catch a few drops.
You can if you like.

Water gathering now needs to be done on a larger scale.
Either that or we all die due to lack of water.
I don't think so.

To conserve water we need to look at population increases, and wasteful
methods in industrial uses of water, and stop industries who don't fit
into the picture.
Industry is the biggest waster. We'd end up paying more either with
purchases or in the form of taxes to subsidise industry.

I couldn't give a FF where dams are built. I wouldn't blindly trust a
bureaucrat on telling me what the best resolve is without listening to other
opinions. AFAIK there has been some acknowledgement from the "powers that
be" that the Traveston Dam has not yet been fully & properly researched in
reference to it possibly being too shallow & leaky to be of any worth.
We might just end up with a Traveston Dam if some bureaucrat has to move
shop & can cash-in on the project.
