[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 656721, member: 4386"] My understanding is that the plant is currently operating at 20% capacity because of the poor quality of flood waters (mud). "a professor at the University of NSW’s School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, said the desalination plant would remain operational out of concerns for water quality". Normally it only ticks over until dams are only 60% full when it kicks in (if dams drop to 50% Sydney goes onto water restrictions). Yes, it is 60% Canadian and 40% Australian owned. Same problem as usual - we don't have the capital to do it ourselves It doesn't really use our natural resources if you mean water - it is Pacific Ocean water (which we share with Canada), and it gets its power from wind. ;) [/QUOTE]
