The unfortunate reality is that we are going to have this problem because only half the people in the city are taking it seriously. We have three people living where I am and we have managed to reduce our consumption from over 15 megalitres a month to 3.5 megalitres a month. We use grey water to flush our toilets. Using drinkable water for flushing away poo and pee is madness. We're going to need that water to drink in February if you don't mind. 

Showering is an infrequent affair and it's drought shower time. Water on. Get wet. Switch water off. Shampoo and soap on. Water on. Rinse off. Water off. None of this standing around under the hot shower nonsense. (I like it too, it's nice. I know.) I have a friend who wants to harvest rain water for his pool so he can swim. LOL. Swim? No. It's for flushing, filtering and drinking.

The people who I am most scared of when all this happens are parents. The person saying "My child needs water" is going to be a scary,  desperate person.
