Price hike 'too little' to ease the shortages

Price hike 'too little' to ease the shortages :

"'We're facing the worst water crisis ever seen in this country,' Professor Young said. 'This is a time to be really reflecting the scarcity of water.' Professor Young, research chairman of water economics and management at Adelaide University, said the state had an opportunity to be 'much braver' and lead the country in sustainable water use."

So when we are confronted with the prospect of letting our gardens die or pay through the nose, then that is addressing the water shortage?? I do not think so. I think it is making an untimely and unreasonable profit out of circumstance. Your average family is not the excess water user. I suggest you target the accounts which are really using water. Check them on your databases. Forcing us to let our gardens die is unreasonable when we are not the ones overusing water. So, can we get the facts on who uses the water?
