An opinion piece by Darryl Day.
As we reach the half-way mark of the devastating bushfire season in Australia and see the impact of the prolonged drought on existing water supplies on regional and rural communities, it is time to commit to new measures for water security. There needs to be a short term focus on recovery addressing water quality and quantity in catchments impacted by the bushfires, with a medium to longer term focus on water reform, research and implementing a portfolio approach of “all options on the table” in providing sustainable and resilient water supplies for our regional and remote communities.

Managing the impact of bushfires on water
Thursday, 16 January, 2020
Australia has seen a devastating start to the 2019-20 bushfire season which began in September, with separate fires extending across all states almost concurrently. This has resulted in the tragic loss of lives, homes, giant trees, native animals, pets, livestock and more. It has also required a massive national and international team response including firefighters, volunteers and the army. Fires are still burning around the country, and alarmingly, the fire season is expected to continue until at least April.
