We’ve done it before, so why can’t we build heaps more rail lines? : Comments
By Alan Davies, published 15/4/2015It might seem easy to build more transport infrastructure given so much was built in the past. But in some cases we wouldn’t tolerate the same conditions that provided much of our legacy infrastructure.

I think a steel water harvesting and aqueduct system collecting water from high in the Gregory Range in northern Queensland could run water into upper catchment of the Darling River.
The Murray Darling Basin already runs all the way to south Australia and the water starved Coorong.
Presently much of that northern wet season water ends up lost and wasted into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Steel construction would prevent seepage and also stimulate the iron ore and steel making and agricultural industries.
No pumping would be required, it's all downhill. Google Earth proves that.
More water is needed.
More rail like a freight and passenger monorail could be developed hand in hand with such a water harvesting system.
There is need to rehabilitate the whole water ecosystem of this planet, worldwide in other words, in numerous countries.
The whole open ocean is not being managed or cared for at present, but should be, in stead of blindly destroying the health of it.
Rehabilitating ecosystems could be a new industry that would generate major business and employment and export revenue.
The trouble seems to be getting past the knockers, and the ABC.
