Water is hugely important to life. Because drought has been long-lasting in our part of the world Mal and I have installed rainwater tanks at our townhouse. 10,000 litres worth to be exact. These tanks will be used to water the garden, wash the car, clean house and flush toilets. The whole house can be connected to the tanks and Mal estimates at our present usage would last us 80 days. Then, we would be out of water.
Water theft has already begun to happen here. I was told by a friend there that water was stolen from the tanks and swimming pool at the Australian Catholic University. Right now greed, I imagine was the motivation but are we moving toward days when need will drive such actions?
I wonder.....
