From the Paper:

"In recent years, the feasibility of establishing desalination plants in Australia has become a topic of much debate. The following paper will review the available literature on this subject and attempt also to shed some light on a matter that is often poorly understood by the average citizen. In particular, the paper will evaluate the feasibility of desalination plants in Australia and contemplate the long-term impact of these facilities upon the Australian environment, economy and Australian society. Moreover, the paper will look at how negative environmental factors arising from the creation of desalination plants in Australia (especially in New South Wales) can be mitigated; just as importantly, the following paper will explore whether practicable alternatives are available that might make the construction of these plants unnecessary."
