The drought continues to deepen in Australia. Towns, such as Goulborn in NSW, are running out of water as the rains fail to arrive.
The major cities are going onto water restrictions as an emergency which then become the normal. Australians have to live with water restrictions.
Meg Lees,
It is different with the rivers, such as the Murray-Darling. Too much water has been taken out of them by irigators. So the wetlands die. The big farmers shrug. Few are serious about shifting to sustainable farming.
