@rogercookmla: Who knew boring tunnels could be so exciting! Over the past 15 months, boring machines have been tunnelling 20m under the seabed, bringing the Alkimos Desalination Plant one step closer to completion. The machines bored two tunnels totalling 6km in length and lined them with 32,000 WA-made concrete panels - two of the longest undersea tunnels in Australia. This plant is an absolute feat of modern engineering. We're so thrilled because this project will help supply drinking water to more than 2.5 million West Aussies and reduce reliance on WA's precious groundwater. Supporting 1500 WA jobs, the Alkimos Desalination Plant is slated to become fully operational by 2028.

Is it Perth drinking water, or the data centres air conditioning?

How about using all that extra renewable energy to bore a tunnel to Argyle . We’ve been talking about it for 40 years

If the water were cleaner, it would reduce the use of plastic water bottles. What about the bills? Would they be cheaper, and would we be able to farm?

Does this mean Rodger that our Dams can be utilised for recreational purposes like Fishing and camping like the rest of Australia since we won’t need to rely on these dams as much for drinking water , you could stock our dams with Australian Natives to alleviate fishing pressure of natural stocks creating a boom for tourism , Every other state in Australia utilises their dams for this purpose except WA😢
