Welcome to Melbourne Hot Summer

Ye Gods!! Temperature is gonna be super hot the next week. So far there has been no rain in the last three weeks. Frankly I can't even remember when was the last time we had rain here. The reservoir levels here in Victoria are at 30%.

This is terrible.

I wish Australia (the Govt) would build another dam in an area in Victoria where it gets so much rain that it floods. But noooo.... they'd prefer everyone to take shorter showers, smell like bogans, and invest in a billion dollar desalination plant that will only provide a fraction of the water supply but consume a massive chunk of our electricity supply.

On a wishful note: it would be great if Australia could build an aquaduct system that would bring water from the North - where they get tropical rain - and channel the water down south. It would cost billions of dollars but it would be a boon for future generations.
