The Great Australian Water Fraud

Recent geological studies have shown that there are approximately 5,000 Artesian wells in Australia.

The Artesian wells are at an approximate depth of 2,000m to 5,000m below the surface, and cover an approximate area of 2/3 of Australia.

Of the 5,000 wells there are an approximate 2,000 that are capped, i.e. the flow of water is controlled, and the rest of the 3,000, the water goes to waste.

The approximate water supply beneath the ground is estimated at 1,500 years.

When the water supply was in government hands, it was available cheaply and plentifully, even though Australia is constantly in a 'drought'.

Since the introduction of global policies to 'privatise' (read 'Money for Mates' deals) all utilities
there has been NO financial outlay to expand water catchment areas, and build infrastructure.

The 'privatised' water companies only collect money for a service that was already in place.

The governments current 'advertisements' show that water desalination plants 'will' be built, but what is NOT said that it will be 'outsourced' and as a result charged dearly at the tap to the user.

It is in the governments policies to charge exorbitant amounts for services that were previously moderately priced.
