In November 2008 the Victorian Water Forum, a uniting of Watershed Victoria, Plug the Pipe and Clean Oceans Foundation, presented to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Future Water Supply Options for Melbourne. Their message was clear, we must act quickly to achieve a change in the Government’s Water Plan, lest we find ourselves tied to unsustainable water augmentations for decades to come. Their short written submission is available below:
