NT Indigenous community faces critical water shortage

  • 2 years ago
Safe access to clean drinking water is a serious problem in remote Indigenous communities across the Northern Territory, where dwindling groundwater supplies have residents worried about the future of their homelands. One community of more than 200 people north-west of Alice Springs, has just 18 months left of water supply from its current soruce. While there's still no long-term solution authorities are preparing for future emergencies where they'll have to truck in water to sustain life in the town.
