Dobozy reveals AquaDam plans
Designed to minimise energy consumption, the approach will allow cities to capture stormwater and reuse waste water. By capturing the water downstream of the city it focuses people’s mind on the state of the water being sent down the drain and captures the extra rain now falling on our cities. Dobozy has interest from Dubai and Japan and is working with German and Chinese companies to develop a second stage prototype. As well as capturing water, Dobozy thinks that the platform cant be used to and potentially desalinate sea water, generate energy and farm algae.
A sound file of the interview is available here.

Thomas Merton in his study.
|
Thomas Merton (31 January 1915 – 10 December 1968) was one of the most influential Catholic writers of the 20th century.
A Trappist monk of the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, in the state of Kentucky, Merton was the author of numerous acclaimed works of spirituality, a prolific poet, social activist and student of comparative religion. He wrote more than 60 books, scores of essays and reviews, and is the subject of several biographies.
Merton was a keen proponent of inter-religious understanding, engaging in spiritual dialogues with the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh and D. T. Suzuki.
His life and career were suddenly cut short at the age of 53, when he was electrocuted stepping out of his bath.

Senator Nettle at Oxley River – Podcast
Senator Kerry Nettle met thirty residents of Tyalgum and the surrounding area at Rocky Creek Crossing on the Oxley River on Wed July 4th to listen to their concerns over Malcolm Turnbull’s proposal to dam the tributaries of the Tweed River and pipe the water to Queensland.
The concerns expressed by the residents are three fold. It will destroy the area, it will not produce any extra water, and it penalises an ecologically sustainable community to send water to an unsustainable one. President of the Save the Caldera Rivers campaign, Peter Bennett, puts the views clearly in the interview broadcast on The Generator on Monday July 9th.
Kerry Nettle outlined the Greens position that demand management can solve the nation’s water problems at a local level through a combination of rain water harvesting, water recycling, efficiency and reduced waste. She pointed out that the SE Queensland mayors have already commissioned a report that proves that approach would not only meet current population requirements, but also provide for the projected growth over the next decade.
She also said that Greens Senator, Rachel Siewert, is deputy chair of the Tracveston Creek Crossing Senate Committee that has been given Turnbull’s proposal. Siewert has requested that the terms of reference for the Senate Committee be formally expanded to deal with the proposal which is well outside the scope of the options originally considered by the Committee as part of its investigations into a dam on the Mary River north of the Sunshine Coast.
