Just to clarify the water situation down here, the CSIRO (Aussie scientific research organisation), released a report last year that found that over 98% of water usage in Australia occurs *outside* of the major cities. It is a myth that the cities waste huge quantities of water, thus depriving the rural areas. The report actually recommended that water be diverted *from* rural areas to the cities, to support future population growth.
I'm not, repeat, not saying that no water is wasted in the cities, just that the extent of this wastage is nowhere near what is commonly believed.
