I am against the "pipe" as it is a shortterm reactive measure by the current government to a long term problem that governments have turned a blind eye to in the past. If they truly want to put the pipe inplace and look after the areas from which they are draining the water from, let them give some positive news to the local areas ie ensure that Lake Eilden is filled first - to 100%, this will give the local communities a fall back position if water does run low or out. The pipe could then be a partially viable proposition. For the long term the government needs to think things through and get Water Ministers who know what the subject is all about and not newly appointed politicians who come into portfolios the subject matter of which they have not knowledge waht so ever.
