Default FYI- water crisis stroy link:

agreed willy but?

our farmers are subsidised almost to the hilt, but only to keep them
solvent so they go merrily on their inefficient ways.

this recycled class 2 water without further treatment should be pipped
to the growing areas (here that is about the same distance as it is to
pipe it to the water dams plus the extra cost of extra filtration
needed before doing that)

and wastfull overhead irrigators like they persist with should surely
be abolished in prefferece to a more efficient system.

pipe lines have their positives and negatives, but as you said if we
don't start we will never finish.

lots of other more local infrastructure to look at as well. money
better spent than the way it is now on illadvised subsidies in all
sectors.

snipped
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len
