Drought-hit Sydney Tackles Water Crisis
| More than 200 years after the first English settlers dropped anchor in Sydney Harbour to take on drinking water, Australia’s largest city is running out of the stuff. |
As one of the country’s worst droughts drags on with little hope of relief, capacity at Sydney’s main dam is at a record low, with fresh water supplies assured for only about three years. At present consumption levels, the city will face an annual water shortage of 200 billion litres (53 billion gallons) by 2030. |
