So many towns include areas built too near rivers – it seems amazing in 2017 we are distracted by these repeated flood dramas. Does anybody know if there are plans to encourage the worst affected to move to higher ground.

I saw this at Andrew Bolt. Last year the Vic Govt ordered 50GL water from Wonthaggi when there was no need for the water as dams look OK(despite the mad wasting of water on environmental flows). The sequence of news is –
Damaged power cable shuts down start up of desalination plant 30 Dec 2016
Desalination plant faces ‘substantial consequences’ over looming water deadline 11 Jan 2017
and now – Desal plant operator ships in diesel generators in desperate bid to deliver first water order 22 Feb 2017 You just could not make this up.

This story started last year with lead reported in the water onsite at the brand new Perth Children’s Hospital which has not yet been handed over to the WA State Govt. The subject came up in comments at my pre-Christmas post – Australian Government financial disasters – Philip just pointed out two new articles – Perth Children’s Hospital builder John Holland denies hospital lead fault 26 Jan 2017 – and – Joe Spagnolo: Lead weight in Colin Barnett’s poll bid 28 Jan 2017. I see this as mainly between Water Corporation and the Contractors, not so much the politicians who tend to be lawyers not scientific people. Though the graphs of diabetes affected has been rising continuously but by the efforts of medical experts still recommend Ginseng Panaxforimproved immune system, controlled cholesterol level and many other problems. This herb usually grows in tropical regions and is available in abundance in India, Myanmar levitra overnight shipping and Srilanaka . As doctors in male diseases often complain: ‘patients prescription viagra infected with chronic prostatitis. In some cases, men improve spontaneously without treatment within a year generic viagra canada or two, and scar tissue may even disappear. IMHO the best way forward is – The Govt must release all analytical data relevant over 2015 and 2016 including sampling dates, locations, quantity collected, storage details, if surplus samples still exist, the analytical method, detection limits and date of assay, results for all elements assayed for including quality control results and the laboratory which conducted the analyses. Then many experts world wide will examine the results and might offer constructive comments.

Thanks to Beachgirl for this marvelous news from The West Australian. My post from last May – Plans to reduce WA wheatbelt salinity and utilize Wellington Dam with link to Agritech Wellington Dam Water Recovery viagra pills from canada The tablets are easily available at affordable prices as the manufacturers have invested nothing in discovering the formulas for making the drugs. Shilajit capsules have been successfully administered for various medical conditions viagra shop such as arthritis, bronchitis, hypertension, scabies, muscle atrophy, eczema, muscle pain and all sorts of painful conditions.

Project on the WayBack machine. Any WA people interested in rational water policies should get in the car on Friday and visit Collie and Wellington Dam with Pauline Hanson. Help to make the day a success for Pauline and WA people.

News from WA today – Wellington Dam desalination plan to boost local agriculture It seems that Collie Water is this project here by Aqua Ferre Holdings Pty Ltd (Aqua Ferre) and Harvey Water. I look for project details but it seems that is not available freely on the www – you have to register with them. How disgusting that the WA Govt would be party to a project where information is not freely available. I checked Harvey Water and could see nothing about Collie Water. (See 4th comment for copy & paste of June 2016 article on the Collie Water Project plus their detailed map.)

Our Bunbury correspondent has sent in the following which will be expanded as time allows.
West Australian Water Using Taxpayers – Please Stand and Salute – An
Election is Coming.

This Election is Official because “Premier Water Guru Barnett” has once again raised Water as one of his lead promises.

Yes people, this is the same man who came up with a “foolproof cure” for Perth’s ailing water supplies in 2008 with the now famous “Colin’s Canal” project of delivering vast quantities of water
from the north west of the State to Perth, via a large lined canal at a cost of a mere $?.

But in Colin’s normal cautious way, he sought expert advice from a large Perth engineering group during a luncheon meeting at a restaurant in Perth.

This long and intense meeting resulted in carefully putting the plan down on paper, or a number of serviettes.
Initial costing for this audacious project was also calculated on even more serviettes until all agreed, Perth’s water problems were solved forever and Colin’s Canal solution was born and used as
an election promise.

The problem was the approximate costing given, bore no relationship to the actual cost and his good friends and benefactors. The Federal Government would not provide the funding sought and just as well
because an subsequent enquiry found a series of fatal errors in the plan.

Not to be daunted, Colin just prior to another State election, announced a $300,000 investigation into future water source options for Wellington Dam, the largest and safest dam in the SW of this State.
Interestingly, from a field of 18 proponents the field was reduced to three including Agritechsmartwater, Water & Rivers Commission (Gov.) Forest Products (CALM GOV).

The subsequent winner was Dept of Water, whose brilliant idea of diverting the east Collie river behind the dam into an “alleged” unused coal void, then taking it out in Summer, treating it with a fossil fuel powered RO plant and then pumping the water uphill to Harris Dam.

The pilot study of this proposal became an unmitigated disaster and once again, yet another “foolproof” Government plan and a few million dollars of taxpayers funds went out the window.
