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.
