Research by Ian Wright discovered that flood waters are a concern for drinking water supplies.
Wright analyzed part of south east Queensland, Australia and northern NSW, which are experiencing heavy rain falls, reported The Conversation.
Despite this, south eastern Queenslanders in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and the Lockyer Valley have been asked to conserve drinking water by SEQ. This ask was made after heavy rain impacted the Mt Crosby and North Pine Water Treatment Plants, which both went offline in the early hours of Feb. 27. Since then, North Pine has restarted and the Gold Coast Desalination plant is supplementing supply.
