Time you people who've had water while the rest of
australia hasn't adjust your gardening methods, buy some tanks, and
get on with life. Moaning about how sad your dead lawn is and
expecting the government to build bigger dams won't cause rain, and
it will evaporate from the dams when it does. If you have a tank,
you'll be laughing over your green lush garden while those around
you complain. Oh, and learn to mulch.

Not all Victorians, meeee
I've been disgusted with the 'hosing down the driveway' brigade for
years

I think it should be compulsory for every Australian home to own a
tank ( looking forward to my own next March


I meant no slur against Victorians, as most of them are as
waterwise as any aussies....just the OP and all his water wasting
friends (I don't think i insulted Victorians...sorry if I did, didn't
mean too!!)

No you didn't .. I just wanted to dissassociate myself ..



From all the eeevil Victorians... Glad I didn't put both feet into my
mouth again!!

I've got a neighbour who hoses down her driveway...constantly, very
annoying. Needless to say she has year round green lawn which she is
probably very proud of, but I don't think living in the tropics is any
excuse for water wasting....and when we buy a house, I want a tank!!
I agree on the compulsory bit!!

My personal favourite is those that have not set ( or forgotten ) a
watering system, and their sodden grass is running into the gutter ... at
high noon ...

Must admit though, it's been a while, although this kind of thing was
rampant only 10yrs ago ( or maybe because I was working for a water
company at the time and more observant ? )

In my area, people have become more water wise; the Cairns council has us on
permanent sprinkler restrictions, even though the dam level is fine,
because, as they wisely say, it may not always be fine. So i think the
councils are maturing on water wise-ness, and people are following their
example
