Vic: Water conservation held up by red tape, scientist says
A scientist with the CSIRO says red tape and bureaucratic inertia are strangling Australia'sefforts to tackle the urgent issue of water conservation.
GRAHAM HARRIS says water is the biggest issue Australia and the rest of the world willface over the next 50 years, but policy-making is being held up by bureaucratic delays.
Dr HARRIS has told the ENVIRO 2002 conference that lengthy negotiations between differentorganisations over the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality are unconscionable.
He says Australia has the right programs and philosophy, but it's not moving quickly enough.
