Thunderbolt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 from what we hear up here you guys are in a serious drought...... It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago.

dangerous_daveo Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago. I wouldnt go that far, as there arent that many options for damn placements... But thats another story. You say its not that bad, wait for level 5 next month Thats going to hurt a bit more than people may think.

Thunderbolt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) I wouldnt go that far, as there arent that many options for damn placements... But thats another story. You say its not that bad, wait for level 5 next month Thats going to hurt a bit more than people may think. No I meant that it isn't that bad as far as rainfall levels go. My grass is green and the weeds are going strong without any additional water. If I had a rainwater tank, I am sure that it would have overflowed plenty of times. Just when you go out west (Ipswich area) that you notice it.

Bunta Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago. ha ha putting a dam on the largest catchment by far in our area is a heaps bad Idea Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/159655-severe-thunderstorms-se-qld/page/2/#findComment-2965299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 ha ha putting a dam on the largest catchment by far in our area is a heaps bad Idea Well where has it got us? Why all this talk about puting a dam in the Gympie area? Common sense states that you will always get more rainfall east of the hills (ie. Mt Glorious, Nebo). It's all well and good puting in in a big catchment area, but if that catchment area isn't going to provide much water in the future then it's not much use. There are plenty of other options out there. Look at how much water goes into the storm water system and then out to sea. Rain water tanks should have been thought of by the government years ago, not just now.
