 On this episode of City Limits, Kevin has an interview with Helen van den Berg with a 'deep-dive' on the imminent projected global water shortage in relation to our local Sustainable Water Strategy. She describes our current 25% reduction in freshwater supply and its significant projected decline, citing long-term  governmental mismanagement, corporations' bulk water entitlements, and more.

 She also talks solutions; discussing her involvement in the Concerned Waterways Alliance, a network of community and environment groups from the Snowy River in Gippsland to the Barwon River in the Otways, and their aims to inform government and the public about the degraded state of Victoria’s rivers, wetlands and aquifers, and their committment to improving their health for the benefit of current and future generations.
