Demand for water set to soar
Demand for water in Australia could increase by 1.5 trillion litres over the next 50 years, a new report forecasts. The urban water industry’s peak body estimates that an extra 1 trillion litres of water will be needed by 2056, if the population reaches 31 million people.
But if the population grows to 45 million, water demand will be 1.5 trillion litres, according to the Water Services Association of Australia report. Source
