Water; It's Good to Have Enough

After this year's spring and summer droughts we have been getting a heck of a lot of rain in October and November. Happily the reservoirs all over the country are now running at about 69% full; as compared to the 35% a year ago and about 20% at the end of the summer.

Water reserve levels are of enough general interest that they are published daily in the newpapers - and have been for years; not just during the recent drought.

The really good part is I won't have to feel so guilty every time I run the dishwasher; although it's worth noting that washing dishes in the machine is generally considered to use less water than doing dishes by hand. Hurrah!
