We don't need the rain.

In reality we all use recycled water.
No matter where one lives.

Spot on sky.

It's just the same as air. On average, every breath of air you breath in contains a molecule of oxygen that Elvis once breathed in.

I wrote a post about recycled water not long ago...

There is a difference between the hydrologic cycle and a water treatment plant possibly staffed by someone who is not overly diligent in their duties!

Not that I care I have sworn an oath to myself never to live where i might need town water !

The number of fail-safes in place to prevent that happening are almost countless.

The sooner that Local Councils start making it regulation for all homeowners to install decent sized water tanks & waste disposal systems the better. All of these systems might cost a little more to install but surely the end result is a saving all round.

Thats what they said when Sydney was plagued by Giardia and Cryptosporidium traced back to some douchebag dumping dead dogs in the Blacktown reservoir. Probably a couple of dead drug dealers as well!
Couldnt happen then either! Ultimately nearly everything has a single point of failure where people are involved.

Worse even than anyone thought.
It's beyond me to understand how  the madness of the AGW cult has produced such insanity. Did they think that we'd never see rain again?
Good old lefty, socialist Victoria..my once proud State...passing NSW in the race to the bottom...certainly leading the way to green/AGW insanity!!! I may vote Labor in November, as I wouldn't wish the mess onto my worst enemy.

VICTORIANS will pay an average $570 million-a-year for the next 28 years to pay for the state's new desalination plant - even in times when it produces no fresh water.

A Department of Sustainability and Environment report - one of hundreds tabled in the Victoria parliament this week - contained the highly sensitive figure, which the government had tried to keep secret.

It's been to blasted wet in my part of QLD too of late.  I want to replace the rear springs on the car but we haven't had a dry spell for too long.

Don't think that QLD isn't trying to surpass the lunacy of southern state governments either, however I spotted something in the budgeted projects listed that will make it a matter of simplicity for any new government to quickly get the money back on track.  Projects are being vastly and simply overpriced and don't appear to be audited by anyone with a scrap of sense.  When I see simple street bus shelters priced at $80,000 each then I know something's very amiss, if I couldn't get change out of $8,000 I'd wonder what was happening.
