"New water plan will leave Sydney high and dry
May 15, 2006
The answers to the city's water shortage are obvious but the Government refuses to see them, writes Charles Essery.
In the real world, Sydney has 18 months of water supply remaining, yet we continue to waste more water through our ocean outfalls and stormwater discharges than would meet all our needs."
A quick search on the Internet reveals that “without rivers or a rainy season and no fresh water lakes, Bermuda depends on the weather for water.”
So a little island in the Atlantic can handle a water shortage but Sydney cannot.

It's the same in the UK, we have just be been put on drought order in the UK.
Although we have had less rainwater, the crux of the matter is the government is trying to house more people in one the south east part of the country.
This is the only area of the country that has a water shortage. The rest of the country has no shortage. It strikes me, no matter what the country, all governments are as feckless as the next!
I'm just in the process of finishing my blog on our water shortage on http://oldworthing.blogspot.com
