Sydney’s $1.7 billion desalination plant
A $1.7 billion desalination plant has opened in Sydney, expected to supply up to 15 percent of the area’s water needs.
The seawater reverse-osmosis facility in the southern suburb of Kurnell has been driven by concerns about climate change, Sydney’s inconsistent rainfall patterns and a rapidly growing metropolitan area that attracts some 50,000 new residents each year.
