This
is the focus of Tom Mùllers Liquid Empires. Mùllers
focuses on the countrys ongoing concern for the depletion
of its natural water supply by presenting a stylised map of the
Australian river systems. As he explains, like a waterfall
spilling for the last time, the Australian water situation is
critical. Water authorities are also capitalising, the Empire
is growing in power as the dependence on water increases.
