water drought

As I sit here breathing a sigh of relief at the gentle rain falling outside, I am amazed at the stupidity of people and their use of water.

I admit that a drought in the Waikato is unheard of...but once we had gone for a couple of months without rain you would think people would have cottoned on to the issue and tried to save water...but no.
Councils have to be the worst offenders...they wait until there is no water before putting on sprinkler bans just because they don't want to upset anyone and I suspect they don't want the extra expense of spying on people breaking the rules.
