Water is a precious commodity in a city, state and country where drought is frequent. I live in a city with many waterways, but until the drought broke recently, rain was a rarity over the past few years. Much of Australia is still in drought. Sydney-siders have become much better at using water, and we use far less now (per capita and in total) than we did 20 years ago, even with a much larger population.I saw this sign on a local road sign pole.
Have a look at what other Daily Photo blogs around the world have to show us about water by clicking this link.
Do hope you all get more rain! If not, you might have to follow Singapore in recycling sewage water for drinking :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Theme Day Sally!
Oh my goodness! What an original interpretation of the theme!?!?!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work, Sally.
a really good idea of water photo. good job!
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of water photos!
ReplyDeleteGood post, Sally!
ReplyDeleteThat was my original choice for today's theme, because SW Florida is under extreme drought conditions. But the only photo I could think of to illustrate the point was the limited watering on the golf course! And who would really care? Not I ;-)
Excellent! I would have expected no less of you Sally - so not a surprise - just another great interpretation.
ReplyDeleteYour post goes nicely with Keropok man's.
ReplyDeleteHappy theme day.
Very clever post Sally! Here in the US I feel like, the more we have, the more we waste!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sally for the theme

In French, there is a sentence which says "water is life", "l'eau, la vie"...Maybe even more true in Australia...
ReplyDeleteI like your choice
ReplyDeleteSally, check out my Sydney blog, I've posted a photo very much along the same line of thought!
ReplyDeleteMy water-themed photo is also out in Avignon.
Great choice for theme day, and the color is so brilliant!

good one!
ReplyDeletea good message
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and message! I am so pleased that we bloggers have selected this theme for today because of its importance so perhaps we're advancing awareness in a slightly different way. I never really conserved water 'til we started going to Mexico, and I then developed a new and more serious awareness re. this important resource. Thanks for your post. PS. Yes, I did get your email, appreciated it and will follow up after I get a bit more settled here at home now. Miss Mexico terribly!!
ReplyDeletebravo, un thème important, la sauvegarde de l'eau pour les prochaines années. un très bon choix
ReplyDeleteBravo, a major theme, safeguarding water for the coming years. A very good choice
Ah, I know the drill well. For decades in California we lived under mandatory water conservation rules. Here in Seattle, there is not the strict necessity, but people on the whole try to conserve all resources here, more so than anywhere I've lived before. My daughter decided she wanted to do her laundry quckly and so put the entire contents of her clothes hamper into the washer. It broke under the strain and is too old to warrent repair, so we are taking the opportunity to shop for a more energy efficient washer. Nice reminder, Sally!
