i live in adelaide south australia and we have had a bumper rainfall this winter to date.how is the rest of this lovely nation of ours faring regatrding drought conditions and should adelaides water restrictions be slightly relaxed now
Phoenixflame says: We really didn't have that good a rainfall.
Currently, we still require quite a bit before our lakes, rivers and dams are anywhere near the levels we want them to be. If we were in a good position, we wouldn't be wanting of the water coming down from Queensland and having the argument with NSW about it.
karlenesoh says: I personally think that everyone should put water saving methods into practise if the government was willing to help out we could arrange to have all the water used inside to automatically be spread through everyones yards so then nobody will have to waste water on their gardens because they are automatically watered when we have a shower or do the washing, this way less water would be used and more could bulk together to increase water supplies and clean away all of the harm we have done to the waterways. so no water restrictions should never be relaxed
Phoenixflame says: Was driving the other day when it was raining hard.
I can really see the impact of harvesting stormwater.
Not to say that the infrastructure will be cheap, available or able to be instantly installed. But wouldn't people think it would be as simple as catching it where it comes out? I mean it goes into the drain at certain points and flows through the system. So just catch it all at the end and divert it somewhere useful.
