WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
This blog is a forum for all the likeminded people who want to have a say into how our future is formed. The ideas posted here are not solely related to water, but a collection of ideas that we would like to have heard in a world that is starting to listen!
I have realised through my learning and interests, that there is one commodity in this country, if not the world, that is more important than any other. It’s not money, not minerals, not political power...
It’s WATER...
Everything we do is inextricably linked to water. Unfortunately, because generation after generation of us have lived in areas where water comes out of a tap, we have forgotten just how important water is to our very existence. We take it for granted. It’s always there. We have given the responsibility of providing it to our families to other people, “Barleeze!” We use it without a thought for how it gets to our houses.
The way our communities are expanding without proper planning for future water requirements will mean that eventually, the water will dry up. There will be too many people and households for the amount of water stored in the dams to supply. What will happen then? What happens to a community without water? “Let them drink Coke?” - Gen.Y’s!
I wish to encourage everyone to have their say about how they feel we can ensure a water supply for our future generations. Please give us your wildest ideas, your most outrageous suggestions or you most carefully considered opinions. Please also view the opinions of others with respect and do not ridicule or deride any person’s post.
If you have pictures, drawings or ideas you would like to post, please Email me on futurewateroz@hotmail.co.uk.
Where do we start? Maybe we should look at how it has been done successfully in the past. There are so many examples of what we should and shouldn’t do in history. All we need to do is look.

A COUPLE OF OPTIONS...

Option:                Costs:       Construction         Ongoing /yr      mT CO2/yr  

Kimberley Pipeline              $11,000,000,000       $100,000,000         2.5

15-20,000l water tanks       $ 1,377,840,000           $   0                  ?
for all @ $3000 ea

This might keep the wolves at bay for a few decades at least.  This leaves us with $9,622,160,000 change and a saving of $100,000,000 per year. Can anyone tell me how much carbon dioxide it would take to build 459,280 water tanks?
