This is where I ask: what point is there in legislating if key bits are missing, which means that something cannot be enforced? Nor is there any provision for reporting on progress. That means, for instance, that some measures to meet demand which have a long lead time, such as large reservoirs, water recycling or desalination processes, may not have reliable delivery dates. We all know how some of these big projects can be pushed into the long grass. They could be dragged out over many years from one water resources management plan to the next.
