Transport costs are everything. There’s water on the coasts, but the cost of transporting it inland is too high.

  Why would you transport it inland? The people live on the coasts. Are we talking about water for use by people, or for agriculture?

    I imagine agriculture, but wow, I knew Australia's population was mostly coastal, but I looked it up and out on the 25 biggest Australian cities, only Canberra is inland.
