there is a massive shortage of water in Queensland (actually all of australia) but south of me in Brisbane they are on level 5 water restrictions. no hoses, no sprinklers, only able to water from 4am to 8am and then only by bucket. No washing cars, houses . 140litres per person per day only. If you are caught flouting the laws you will be heavely fined. For your information 1 gallon = 3.7 litres, so you can imagine how short showers will be.
things are really bad.
thank god we arent that desperate yet because of the big wet we got this year, but if the local authorities dont clamp down we will be looking at the same thing in the future....
water is such a precious commodity and with australia being the driest continent on earth we are having massive problems.
thought you might be interested in this useless piece of information hahaha
Actually the nurseries are talking of suing the local govt. because a...there plants are dying and b...they are losing lots of business because people wont buy because they cant water. it is having a dominoe effect.
BerniceC: Well! If its any consulation it would not make any difference if you lived in the UK. We are drowning in water and there is still a hose pipe ban lol!
Foxy Lady: No I,m not kidding, welcome to the UK lol! My mam has a hose pipe ban and she did,nt even get flooded, just lots of rain. Its mostly the Council that come up with these rules. Even when our resoivoirs are full they still slap a hosepipe ban on some areas. Mosetly down south but they do nearly every year Manchester up north. As for the flooding I guess there is not much they can do about it. Fortunately even though here we are surrounded by canals we don,t get flooded a lot.
