go and get f**ked

damn right...

if they really wanted to solve the issue they would be reviewing and puting restrictions on businesses or making high user businesses get in some form of water reuse structure or something... they use up over 60% of our water. Why the f*k is Flemmington still allowed to use 1million litres a day? imagine how many other places around are like that.

im glad i dont have to vote... if i did have the power to vote i would be voting for yoda.

im sick of hearing about restrictions and how much more we are going to be owned.

Flemington = Gambling... Gambling = money.

Big problems in Melbourne include the following

Irrigation water is still in big open channels and the water is subject to massive evaporation. something in the realm of 80% evap.

Industry uses a craptacular amount of water, but industry needs to continue otherwise people loose jobs.

Heavy users of water ie. Powercoating plants, Race Courses, places like Coke and Pepsi C.U.B all need to be regulated and made to install rainwater and filter plants.

Every new home and every renovation over a certain amount of area needs to include a mandatory Grey water system for toilets. Rainwater tanks should be used for washing clothes and washing cars and watering the garden.

After the wedding, I'll be putting in a water tank somewhere in my house (you can get under house bladders that look to work quite well) so that I can have grass and a clean car again.

I haven't washed my car since I got the new paint job. It hurts me :P

But that's life.

Sorry, Bracksy sells millions of letres of natural spring water to Coca Cola on the cheap so they can sell it back to us.

i heard a government ad on the radio that says "households" make up 60% of water consumption.

Now i've heard industry uses about 87%, for a grand total for 147%... hmm me fail maths? that's unpossible.... sooooo what gives? :ninja:

DivHunter... Have you even been to Coke or Pepsi?

They use water to clean bottles and perform heaps of other tasks.

Every bottle is rinsed many times, and the out sides are then rinsed as well.

They use Uber Loads of water.

Just because they make money doesnt mean they should be using millions of litres a day, especially to do something we arent, water our gardens. The racecourse and other businesses that use water for means other then drinking products should all be made to use recycled water when the infrastructure is in place... not the everyday consumer.

Im going to be installing at least 4 water tanks at my joint so i can water the lawn, have water fights or simply stand there for hours watering the roof if i want but even if everyone did that it isnt going make much of a difference.

There is bore water... one of the girls here is going to do it and not tell the council because they charge something stupid for it.

What I meant was - they make money (not nearly what it's worth though) by selling drinking water that should be going to the public, but they make money from it so it's not going to stop eg gambling, speed cameras etc.

70% - Agriculture

20% - Industry

10% - Domestic

or something like that.

Straight from the Water Policy and Management subject i did at uni last year.

I wash my car at home, in the driveway where evryone can see every week...

What you do is go to bunnings and buy a big wheelie bin, and fit a tap at the bottom if it with a hose connection. (I think they even sell these now)

Take one of your downpipes off and put the bin underneath. You might need some PVC stuff.

Wait for it to rain, it will eventually. About 45mins of rain and its full.

Plug in your washer and away you go. Easy ;).

But then they could dick you for the hot soapy water you use....MEH

We use about 400 ltrs per day in our household. 1 million ltrs would last 2500 days or 6.8 years of water usage!!!!!!!! :)

That is ridiculous, we dont even water the garden unless I am bucketing the water out of the kids bath!!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
