QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the recent publication by the National Water Commission, ‘National Performance Report 2008 - 2009: urban water utilities’. In 2005 - 06 the total residential water supplied for Western Australia was 177 768 megalitres. In 2008 - 09 the total was 196 006 ML, an increase in gross supply of 18.2 gigalitres. Over the same period all other jurisdictions reduced their total supply by 9.8 percent, or 127 gigalitres, and I ask -
(1) Why have other jurisdictions been able to respond to climate change and reduce total residential water supplied by 9.8 percent, when Western Australia in that same time increased water supply by 10.2 percent?
(2) Other than increasing supply, what strong water consumption target campaigns have the Government engaged?
