…check out this chart from page 16 of the National Water Commission’s interesting new report on Future Directions for Urban Water:

The dark blue shading stands for “highest on record”.

There are other very interesting charts in the report (e.g. the chart on p. 15 which illustrates the large climatic shift that has occurred in Perth, which now receives much less rainfall than it did historically).

The image on the cover of the report is a strange choice. Surely fountains are a poor use of urban water?
