More water restrictions proposed for more thorough breaching

Water Harvesting Rain Catching

A new innovative product.

“Rain Catchers Water Harvester” can be placed in any open area to catch and contain rainwater.

Sounds easy? It is made from existing proven Australia products, its light weight, portable and able to contain large amounts of rainwater, and can easily moved or stored.

Australia is in crisis, our soil is damaged, and our dams are dry. A lot of water is wasted, and rain isn’t falling in the most desperately needed areas. Following weather patterns rainfall can be tracked, we believe this capacity can help people on the land.

Only 3% of the worlds rain fall is caught and contained, with our products we can increase that percentage significantly. Capturing drinkable fresh water, before becoming storm water is a great idea.

Due to the limited supply of water, people and plants have a significant demand for an increasingly scarce resource. The products I am promoting are called Rain Catchers. These products come in various sizes and have various applications.

Australia is the driest continent on the planet, it is critical for our survival that efficient and effective water strategies are put in place. These strategies must be able to store water efficiently and promote effective use of this water. However over most of the country rainfall is not only low, but highly erratic.

Australia is also currently in a very serious drought – the worst on record, following a run of very dry seasons. As a result many farming families are under significant financial and emotional pressure. This situation has implications for not only the families involved but for there regional communities and, given the economic contribution agriculture make to the nation economy, the nation as a whole.

Rain Catchers are aimed particularly at those areas that are unable to store or retain large quantities of water. People are now more aware of the need for water and the effect it has on the economy and household incomes. 2005-06 farm income was $26 billion and is projected to fall for this next year.

Following recent rains, the farming sector is feeling more confident anticipating further rainfall. Our designs aim to “drought proof” properties as both town and on farm water sources become more expensive. These products will have applications in all areas and be a cost effective and versatile alternative to rainwater tanks.

We have had a lot of interest from both Australia and countries overseas. We wish to gain support for this initiative, if you are interested or would like more information, please visit our website.

In the interests of balance, here’s another link, this one to Michael Costello’s response, where he says that since the refurbishment of the Cotter Pumping Station environmental flows have been at the level of 2GL/year.

Good link S4anta- same sanity in the debate. Do you all see the propaganda machine kicking in? Water levels were low yesterday, and the day before, but I think Stanhope et al are a bit worried about the many level-headed and scientific critiques of their poo water plan.

Why can’t we just withhold a little of the environmental flows of water (that is collected for the ACT anyway)? I do NOT want poo water, and can’t afford all that bottled water.

If you want to tell them what you think, here’s the link:

Note: they have not made it obvious this is where SUBMISSIONS should be sent, but I was advised (when I emailed) that this was it. Seems a bit low-key . . . and its name is meaningless (water2water).

Stanhope believes in the good fairy if he thinks after a dry winter that he will get water released from Lake Eucumbene or the Murumbidgee. A little bit like M Turnbull and little Johnny throwing money at the water problem, buying up some phantom water rights and saying its solved.

Baubles try that one

has a few interesting things to say on this issue.
“The current water crisis in Canberra is not due to climate change. Nor is it due to drought. It is entirely due to deliberate ACT Government policy.

that was before I heard of the Victorian conspiracy, and the ACT govt knows you’ve got a tank because you’ve applied for a rebate for it, eitehr that or they’ll use google earth to spot it in your yard like the Queanbeyan City Council did for swimming pools

yeah – lets all goto Goulburn, where theyve been in the urine drinking stage of water restrictions for some time

It will get to the point where people vote with their feet and just leave town.

didnt seem to stop you putting in a tank Che.
