Water in 2026: will Australia learn from our mistakes?
Australia's last big drought was from 2017 to 2019; a relatively short drought, but a vicious one. Water storage levels in Sydney dropped by 50% in just two-and-a-half years. In the aftermath of a drought there's always a focus on water policy and preparedness, but it's a focus which tends to evaporate over time. Here on Late Night Live we don't like nasty surprises, so we're checking in on Australian cities' water supplies. Are we ready for the next big drought? Guest: Stuart Khan, Professor and Head of School of Civil Engineering at the University of SydneyProducer: Alex Tighe
