all our cities are on the coast, were it hasn't been too bad. we were allowed to wash the car last summer !
inland is a massive problem. No exaggeration at all. The Murray/Darling is our largest water system and it is just about dead. The water table is basically salt.
Sadly, i would say that most Australians are unaware and from those who have an idea of the problem, maybe half don't care.( it's a farmers problem)
I have heard and read more about Australia's water shortages from foreign sources than from local.
