Tamworth are currently on Level 4 restrictions & I think the trigger point for Level 5 is 20%. Many other towns are out of water & are relying on water being trucked in.
Luckily my home town does not have any restrictions at the moment as there was a pipeline constructed from Splitrock Dam around 8 years ago, but this could change if the drought persists.



Great thread Ambient. Gee, I didn't realise it was that bad. I know from the news it says it is dry and that there are x amount of drought regions etc, but until you see the numbers like that it makes it easy to understand the future and not just the current situation. I guess it will take more than a bit of rain to increase them too, because the land is so dry it will soak up a huge amount before there is any run off.

Fingers crossed for some rain.
