re: australia is rooted (drought) for stocko "It should not effect city people as we pay $700 per mega liter while our food growers pay $4.00 per mega liter."
Stocko, I don't know where you get your figures from, however fruit and vegtable growers and dairy farmers in my region (Goulburn Valley in Victoria) are being forced to pay up to $500 per megalitre on the open market for water.
We have spent +$80K on water this year and some of the larger fruit growing operations have spent up to $500K.
We only have a 53% water right allocation as our main storage (Lake Eildon capacity 3,390,000 ML) is down to a level of 15%.
Unless we have reasonable rainfall over the next 6-9 months there will an economic disaster in this region.
