In these stormy days I hate to see the storm water wasted. Lets have a look at simple measures of capturing storm water before it runs to sea or wherever.

I think it very stupid that the council is letting millions of litres of water go to waste because of burst water pipes. They leave the pipes flowing for hours on end. They should pick up their act and do something to help save our water.

When the government wants to put in a new bridge or highway and they need to find the money there is useually a toll to pay for usage and maintenance,why is this not an option for desalination, as i would ' and everyone i have talked to about this problem, would prefer to pay a water levy each year for good clean water. (not recycled grey water)

Why is the government wasteing millions of dollars on things that are not needed. like; just yesterday I was driving down my local road back home from work and I see a sign posted that says road re-surfaceing progect commencing 1st of may and under that I see: project cost $60 million. This road was perfect the way it was there were no bumps and no pot holes. so why is the government wasteing millions of dollars on things that are not needed when we are being asked to pay for the new water treatment plants. You would think that the government would think before doing some of the things it does!

I believe in all of your ideas. The government wastes money on things that people don't need and waste water when pipes are busted. And there is a storm water wastage. The government should consider all of these at the top of their list. Because if we don't reverse the effects of what we are doing now we wont have any water to desalinate soon

We'll all be ruin'd said hanrahan! Does anyone remember that silly old Australian bush poet's joke about the doomsayer of the village. But! I do agree with hanrahan. The brisbane water crisis will end up becoming the worst weather crisis Australia has ever experienced. One of the biggest problems in Australia is that there are too many levels of government who never talk to each other or get together to plan for the future - all they ever think about is what populist governments do to survive - con everyone into voting them into power for another few years so that they keep pulling in big salaries. Nobody ever thinks to scrutinise the local govt level - these silly old men in cardigan and shorts and log socks actually earn over $100,000 pa for nothing and screwing up our future.Local govt is actually the power that has decided on massive subdivision and therefore the massive influx of people into SE Qld with no basic infra-structure to support it. If everyone in SE Qld had just a few solar panels and batteries and enough tanks to supply their own needs - never wasted water on a "garden" and a "lawn" (Good grief - this is really the problem) and planted just few local indigenous thousand plants a year... Oh well too late now
