Expert backs more integrated water planning ...

From ABC News:

A leading water expert has welcomed moves towards a more integrated approach to water planning in south-east Queensland.

A new water commission will be set up by the end of the year after being agreed to by 18 local councils and the State Government.

It will set restrictions and also means water can be shared across the region.

Ross Young from the Water Services Association of Australia says it makes sense.

"Any move that will bring about integrated and cohesive management of water resources within south-east Queensland has to be applauded ... and also will remove confusion amongst the customers between the different areas on the different rules and restrictions," he said.
