CSIRO says mining produces high income for water used. : "The study has found that on average, the mining sector gets $80 of income for every cubic metre of water used, compared to an average of $5 for the agriculture industry."
Okay, we'll start eating copper and lead and we'll wash ourselves in gold and we'll start drinking uranium. As long as the economy is okay. I can't believe they actually think we have to THINK about allocating water to food and comparing that use with the mining sector's bigger bang for the water buck is actually something we need to consider. Is it me or is it them?
