Protecting the water wealth of the Great Artesian Basin is the latest challenge for the coal seam gas industry, writes Ben Cubby.
Beneath the bone-dry surface of inland Australia, west of the Great Dividing Range, a vast body of water is slowly flowing towards the sea.
If the Great Artesian Basin could somehow be sucked up from underground and put in one place, it would form a water cube of 40 kilometres, holding more than 100,000 times as much water as Sydney Harbour.
