One of the most thought about and talked about subjects in Melbourne in recent years would have to be about our worsening water situation. Up until January 2010 it was all about the drought and now its about all the rain Melbourne is getting and how our resevoirs are now (at the time of writing) over 40% full.
We have very little, if any impact on is the amount of rainwater that we get. Whether it’s a good rain season, a long draught or a part of global warming, we have to change the way "we” think and act when it comes to our planet’s most precious natural resource. "We” in this case refers to us as individuals, organisations, groups and all levels of Government.
The Water restrictions (at all levels) along with our general knowledge and concern for our water situation has led every Melbournian to have taken some action, large or small to either reduce water use, save rainwater, find alternative water sources or a combination of everything.The objective of this section of our website is to provide direct information or links to information that will help the user to have a better understanding of:
