We may also expect to see an adaptation of the Australian hosepipe laws
whereby hose use is restricted only at certain times of the day or on
certain days of the week.


Europe has been hit too. France imposed hosepipe bans last year as well,
but I think it was allowed to water ones veggies. Food still comes first
in France :~))

We didn't have a hosepipe ban but I didn't use any tap water for the
garden and everything was very well watered. We have butts. Food is
important to the Fishers too - and according to a grandson who lives in
France most French people aren't so interested in good food anyway, they
have as many fast food shops as there are here.

I suppose it depends whereabouts you are in France. Rural areas seem not to
have too many Mac.D's :~))
