Dry spell the worst nation's known

Dry spell the worst nation's known :

"THE drought is rewriting record books and forcing climate experts, water watchers, farmers and urban planners to go back to the drawing board as they grapple with a previously unseen dry and unprecedented demand for water from our rivers."

I was furious yesterday when I read in the paper that the state government has been sitting on our River Murray Levy. For many people it's money they can ill afford. It isn't even collecting interest so that we have even more money sitting there and the River Murray needs all the help it can get and that money should not be taken to be horded. It's over 11 million dollars. I can't understand it. I gather the project is going to be gigantic and and our River Murray will flow furiously fast by the time it is finished. That aside, we can continue on without addressing carbon emissions. We can let business and others waste water. We can let the storm water run down the drains and we can just be very ho-hum ,la de da about a very serious issue. I am astounded no one sees this lack of water as a real problem except your average citizen. Governments seem to be very lackadaisical about our weather machinations. So, do we keep cutting the trees and clearing the land as well? And people call the Greens, who have been vocal about this extremists!!! Stupid Greens. We should just dry up.
