More than just a report, Water Challenges for South Australia in the 21st Century is the culmination of Professor Cullen's extremely valuable work under the Adelaide Thinkers in Residence program. Following on from Thinkers such as Herbert Girardet and Charles Landry, Peter truly engaged South Australians on the issue of water.
The water situation in South Australia has become critical. The sclerosis of the River Murray, gross wastage of water, the impact of salinity and ineffi cient irrigation, the need to decrease demand for water, reduced rainfall, and our inability to properly harness the water we do have - these are just some of the issues Professor Cullen addresses here.
