Freezing.......

I can't remember walking outside and cleaning ice from the car window before, well not here in Perth.  We are having a record breaking cold snap.  Problem; clear skies, low temperatures.....no rain!!  It is also the driest July in 136 years, or since records were kept. 

 

Over the past decade the annual rainfall in Perth has been decreasing at an alarming rate.  Our dam levels look reasonable, but that is only because the water from our desalination plants are pumped into the reservoirs. Perth's natural water supplies are dwindling and the city is becoming more and more reliant on ground water and the desal..plants.  Scientists at the The Water Corporation are currently running water recycling experiements as the seriousness of the situation becomes more and more evident.
