Federal Water Resources Minister David Littleproud has accused the states of not building enough dams to keep up with Australia’s population growth. Federal government analysis released by Littleproud on 17 September contends that at current rates, water storage per person in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland will decline by over 30 per cent by 2030 as the population increases. The federal government has over $1 billion available to the states for new dam construction, but there seems little interest among the states to access that money.
