The Answer is No!

There is a however, a common sense shortage and a surplus of mis-information.

Australia has been run dry by economic practices spanning over a century which are not appropriate to its location or Arid nature.

The CSIRO in Australia, did a report for the Dept of Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs...looking at future population and growth scenarios.

The final study (Future Dillemma) became very political and appeared on ABC Four Corners program.

There is no water shortage, mines such as Roxby consume approx 50,000,000 litres of water per day, sucking the natural artesian basin and springs feeding the wildlife habitats dry. When Australia manages it economy sensibly and stops exporting uncosted product (agriculture/mining/energy)...the problem will not be so apparent.

I hope that answers the question :)
