THE HON MALCOLM TURNBULL MP (Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister) discusses the challenges facing Australian water management.
"There is as you know an enormous amount of water in the world. It covers 70 per cent of the planet and it is constantly on the move, being recycled by the hydrological process of precipitation, and then evaporation or transpiration back into the atmosphere.
So the glass of water you drank today may have contained molecules of water that refreshed Leonardo or indeed washed his paintbrush, floated Noah's Ark, or even washed the blood off Caesar's toga. Water is indestructible - it is just that it isn't always in the form in which we can make the most use of it."
Malcolm Turnbull, Monday 28 August, 2006
