Auckland drought: Why floating desalination plants got the thumbs down – New Zealand One or even two huge floating desalination plants, to turn seawater into fresh water, were briefly considered as solutions to Aucklandâs drought-driven water shortage. Each of the barges could have supplied 6 per cent of Aucklandâs water needs, from a location on Manukau Harbour, but would have come with a big financial and environmental cost. The desalination barge idea was canvassed in a confidential report to the June meeting of the board of Auckland Council subsidiary Watercare, obtained by Stuff. (LINK).

$180m fund to keep Aucklandâs taps flowing – New Zealand Aucklandâs water supplier could need to spend up to $180m urgently to find alternative sources of water if insufficient rains fall through winter, worsening the cityâs drought. The spending is signalled in Auckland Councilâs emergency Covid-19 recovery budget and would pay to extend treatment for Waikato River water, for âmodularâ treatment plants at Pukekohe and near an unused source at Papakura plus possible new measures such as desalination of seawater.

Decades in the making, Buena Vista Lagoon restoration plan finally approved – California A long-sought compromise has been approved that will open the stagnant, reed-filled Buena Vista Lagoon to the sea and restore its native coastal marine habitat, but years of work remain before the transformation begins. Disagreements over whether the lagoon at the border of Carlsbad and Oceanside should remain freshwater or be restored to saltwater have stalled the project for decades. The final decision allows the removal of the weir, a low wooden dam at the mouth of the waterway that keeps [âŠ] Decades in the making, Buena Vista Lagoon restoration plan finally approved – CaliforniaHIWI042020-05-31T14:42:13+02:00
