A Critique of the Environmental Impact and Adequacy of Australia's Urban Water Storages

供水者担心，尽管在机构和个人层面上改善了水管理，但城市水储存将不足以满足未来的增长。许多现有的储存设施存在环境问题，关于新设施的讨论在某些方面遭到了原则性的反对。一个独立的评论，利用工程和环境信息将是有用的政策制定者和社区。学院的独立性及其研究金所具有的专门知识将使最后报告具有相当的地位，并有助于社区的理解和各国政府的决策。

Providers are concerned that urban water storages will be inadequate to cater for future growth, despite improved water management at institutional and personal level. Environmental concerns exist over many existing storages, and discussion of new facilities is met with principled opposition in some quarters. An independent critique, drawing on engineering and environmental information will be of use to policy makers and to the community. The independence of the Academy and the expertise that resides within its Fellowship will give the final report considerable status and assist in community understanding and in policy making by Governments.
