Australia is not in drought, 2009 eastern states and south western Australian the drought has broken and we have just gone through one of the coldest winter in decades. One of the best snow seasons ever!
Just would like to point out, these videos are made buy people that want to push the man made climate change theory for there own personal financial gain!
I live right there where that was filmed. Much rice is grown in sandy type soils with high drainage and water loss, so yes this can be said to be a poor place to grow rice. But if not here, where? Do we 'eat' imports? Sorry but the artisian water table IS in fact building up pressure again, sure its not what it was but since the capping of bores campaign several years ago it looks like this may well be sustanable. I hope you understand more than you let on guys....
Our company offers an Atmospheric Water Generator here in Florida and US (Can make Thousands of gallons a day, or just 8 gallons for Home use.) We use a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine to power it day/night, and we offer this also as a "Hurricane Package" in case power is knocked out, and the city declares the water unsafe. We are also in production of a Solar Panel Model for those that love Solar! Can also be connected to Electric Power Grid. If anyone would like more information, please message me.
How about leaving some water for the environment????? Take a look at where this river system meets the sea and see what is happening down here at Goolwa South Australia, and the towns further up the system... You greedy bastards
