Water Problems

Western Australia and Perth are in a serious drought. The lakes up in the hills are only at about 35 percent capacity and the winter rainy season is now over. They don't expect any rain again until next winter in May.

They do something here that is very clever that Santa Barbara might consider. They have dual mode toilets. Instead of one button to flush, there are two. One, for #1, only does a small quick flush. The other does the normal full tank flush. That is such a simple idea but it works very well.
