Old Croc Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The water authorities here seem to spend more time planning how to get the consumer to use less water, than in working out how to produce a better supply for a growing population.

pattayadgw Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 At the beginning of this wet season the BOM said the wet would be late this year. Well here we are and we've still not had our wet... very disturbing when previous wet seasons with a decent rainfall have always been met with water shortages.... how is this dry season going to pan out? NOT GOOD I suspect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
