Problem is when it moves from one extreme to the other. Too much water too fast erodes the soils.
Our biggest wish is a huge cloud over our dams and a nice steady rain for a day or two for our land.
A person I know in South Australia has been washing herself in 1 litre of water for a month. That water is recycled to her garden. April had some rain that put some water back in to the tank for her and she was finally able to enjoy a bath.
Queensland some area Level 5 water restrictions (timed one 4 minute shower a day), Melbourne is at Level 4 I believe. Sydney has also been on the edge of level four. We are not allowed to wash our cars unless we have tank water we can only water the garden with a hand held hose on Wednesday and Sunday after 4pm before 6pm. Unfortunately my car has to park on the road and there is major road works going one 3 blocks away... and then across the road the house that burned down the property was levelled and there is another house being built. it's kicking up quite a mess and I have to take a bottle of water to clean the windscreens. No point in washing the car at a recycled water place because it will look worse if it gets wet. If the current situation remains Sydney's dam will be empty by the end of 2008 Unfortunately it rains over the city but all that run off winds up in the ocean not the water storage areas.
