Australia’s water supplies under pressure
ABC Science Online, Australia
“They are certainly not out of jail at this point of time,” says Piccinin. He says the nation’s capital, Canberra, has improved its storage, now at 52%, in part relying on water from the Murrumbidgee River and elsewhere. Sydney’s water supplies have improved from 59% last year to a stable 66% since February 2008 – in part this has been managed by transferring water from the Shoalhaven water system, says Piccinin. He says Sydney’s planned desalination plant puts it in a “much better position than just about every other city. ”
Perth has storage at 42%, while Adelaide at the end of the River Murray, has storage of 73%, relying more on drawing on the river than storage. Darwin and Hobart, the only Australian cities without water restrictions, have storage levels of 90% and 95% respectively, says Piccinin. He says Australians overall are using far less water than they used to thanks to water restrictions, recycled water, rainwater tanks, water efficiency measures and higher water prices.

The Governor has sounded the wakeup call, and the clock is ticking. ”

MIAMI BEACH, FL, Nov 06, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) –
Air Water International Corporation (PINKSHEETS: AWTI) releases the
following public announcement. For the villagers of Jalimudi, a small out of nowhere village located
in eastern India, in a province called Andre Pradesh, a truly historic
event is about to befall the inhabitants, some 600 of them, literally
from the sky! Looking to the heavens, the locals ask themselves, is
it a plane, no, is it a bird, no, is it rain, no, well not exactly. The villagers are now informed that they are about to become the
world’s first community that is to be sustained from a water supply
that is not coming by truck, nor by pipelines, nor is it from the
river nor from the sea, and not even from ground wells for as
unbelievable and miraculous as it sounds, the water is made FROM THE
AIR!
Air Water Corporation, out of Miami Beach, Florida, in association
with Watermaker India (PVT) Limited of Mumbai India in active
association with the local authority and the Indian Government, have
now built and delivered to India the world’s first such Air to Water
machine designed specifically for this purpose and is about to turn
on the taps and set in motion a whole new concept in the provision of
clean, clear and purified water, all extracted just from the air we
breathe. This exciting new technology and its truly global
application has been the result of years of research and development
and the perfection of a fool proof, everlasting system that is set to
change the way many people worldwide will eat, drink, take showers,
and have an abundant supply of water for all uses, including farming,
etc. For the villagers of Jalimudi it is especially a great
accomplishment. Currently, the local women, including young girls,
spend hour’s daily hauling water in jugs and urns, carefully balanced
on their heads for miles, just to survive and sustain the families. Finally, a new novel concept brought to reality by the vision of just
a few individuals looking to make a difference to the global water
crisis that is by UN statistics claiming a child’s life every 8
seconds.
