Thanks to the amazing support of Monique Ross and the Top 5 program at ABC Radio National, I had the opportunity to share some thoughts about the ways in which urban Australians have come to enjoy fresh water in our homes without giving a thought to where it comes from, or how. In this piece for the ABC, I wrote about the history of water in urban Australia and the importance of understanding urban water supplies to prepare ourselves for the next prolonged drought.

You can read the piece on ABC Radio National Opinion here.

Hilary Harper on ABC Life Matters followed up the story and we had a great chat about the changing understandings of water in urban Australia.
