What happens to the simple runoff from your roofs downpipes!

So simple to get it reabsorbed into the soil of your house block instead of washing away to the sea in drains!

People go mad at the authorities for no longer being able to drill bores to access water from aquifers---but wont do anything positive to replesh those same aquifers.

What year round air-conditioning do you need if your house rooms are at the perimeter of an internal water tank?

So much that is put "on hold"
(Here, in the driest city in the driest State of the driest continent in the world!)

(Where ALL our electricity could be generated from hot rocks--no oil/coal/or whatever needed!)

Hawaiii?---hey! Burrman!

Mumble/grumble

Hi Brian ,,,

In my own case I capture the rain water in a cistern and use it myself ... filtered, of course. I also use a composting toilet,

I am hooked up to the grid but my bill is low as my house is partially heated by passive solar and my house and studio are small.

I am currently snowed in. The guy who plows my long and steep driveway is enjoying the holidays with his family but I hope he comes home soon as I am almost totally out of vegetables and miilk (Scotch, too).

Speaking of authorities (grrrrrr).

Happy New Year

This may be of interest.
Remember that here we have a lot of 40+C summer weather.

I did the photography for the article, Australian House and Garden, back in 1980.
