Economically feasable for who?
How much would it cost?
Oil may be cheaper than water by 2050!

BIG IDEAS - Not a drop to drink
Sunday 7 January, 5pm
In the third of our Big Ideas series of summer science we fast forward to
the year 2056 and consider the future of one of our most precious natural
resources, water.
Key industry people, politicians, journalists, researchers and environmentalists including Malcolm Turnbull, Ian Lowe, Peter Cullen and Ticky Fullerton consider the scenario of an Australia without water.
A hypothetical style event led by science presenter Bernie
Hobbs.
