So in answer teo the question about what you do with dirty water - its simple. You harvest it during peak flows for use in low flows. Just like this,:http://irrigationnz.co.nz/irrigation...ngitata-south/

There are some politicians that just don't get it, or they game the system if they do, that there are things that nature provides that cannot be claimed by the State and taxed or sales endorsed for taxation purposes by the State, without repercussions. Sea Bed springs to mind, as do other bounties of mother nature, like water from the sky. Best not to go there after the Government is formed, it's a fast track to political oblivion, albeit a nice by-line for electioneering purposes.
