It’s not so much the dams breaking records as the heavens having opened up. When they start to dry, which they already have, we need to improve sourcing and regulate consumption.

Or do as we have done and build a bigger dam to take the excess in the good times…

Or allow the supplier to charge ridiculous amounts so nobody can afford to use so much of it. How else can they stop us wasting it?

What about improving the catchment area/collection? The fact is that with El Nina over the preceding five years we had the luck of the draw. Rainfall over the 2011/12 was particularly high.
