Perth now considers wind to solve water shortage
Well, it seems Perth, Austalia has come up with yet another idea since my last blog, to relieve their water shortage. Fifty giant wind turbines will power an eco-friendly desalination plant to make Perth drought-proof and provide 2 million people with their biggest single source of water.
In unveiling plans for the biggest desalination plant in the country, West Australian Premier Geoff Gallop said the $387 million venture would produce 45 gigalitres a year by October next year, as reported by The Australian.
When finished, the state-of-the-art desalination plant at Kwinana, south of Perth, will provide 17 per cent of Perth's water needs, regardless of weather conditions.
