That's great news! However, there is still the energy/GHG emissions problem since desalination is extremely energy-intensive, and most electricity still comes from fossil fuels. We must ramp up renewables and also explore water recycling and reuse options!
Good news! Our world-first desalination study confirms minimal impacts on marine life. 
Could this be the answer to major water shortages across the globe? @UNSWScience Dean Prof @DrEmmaLJohnston explains. https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-tech/world-first-major-desalination-field-study-finds-minimal-marine-impact …pic.twitter.com/SC7rMl4NPE

Agreed, I believe I said that in the video.

Regardless, it'll sustain us in the very near future. As for marine life, there won't be any in 10+ years. Conservative estimates will be our.. downfall(!)

Not for Sydney. More rain falls on Sydney than the city can use. We have models that show the practicality and economics of collecting this and using it locally is a local and national benefit. Leave the water in the country. Beats desalination. Be ecological

We need good news in a country dominated by science deniers.
