Yep - they say SA is the driest state on the driest continent - for effect, to get people to conserve water.

Coopers is SA, as am i, but i live over to the left in Perth. It's all stinkin' hot in summer.

1/6 worldwide has no potable water.
4.000.000 die as a consequence of not having it, each year.
Every 15 seconds a child dies of the consequences of not having access to potable water.

It's true, at0m - water everywhere, not a drop to drink.

Water in this country has become a major concern. Here in WA rainwater tanks haven't even caught on yet, with water restrictions in effect.

Lawns are still kept green & lush with the help of reticulated bore water, which stains concrete & brick red.

My "lawn" dies every summer and regrows every winter. It's nice, with many kinds of "field flowers" but the sand it becomes in the hot makes the landlord not very happy with me.
