Reduce, reuse, recycle.


Staring at a map of Australia, you can see that we've got a system of
rivers- there should be someway we can tap into them - creating canals,
reservoirs and aquaduct systems (underground) to pipe water from areas which
flood to areas which are dry.


lol, are you looking at the same map that tourists look at?


What's the cost? One billion dollars? Ten billions dollars?


Probably closer to 100 trillion dollars.
for what point?
So idiots in cities can flush it all away.
