eBook. The number one issue and concern in Australia today is WATER.Take a bucket into the shower with you tomorrow morning. Let it fill up while the water gets hot. Dump it on your garden as you head out the door, and you just saved water. It's so easy and so necessary. Australia is the driest populated continent on the planet. Water restrictions are only getting more severe as global warming and population growth threaten supplies. We cannot live without water, so it is up to everyone to act now. Save water, save money, save our future! Every Drop Counts is a practical guide that will take you on a journey through your kitchen, bathroom, laundry and garden offering low cost tips that will help you save 50,000 litres of water a year. Craig Madden has been working in the water industry for over four years with a hands on approach to solutions in domestic water saving. He has installed over 500 grey water systems for households around VIC and N.S.W. and currently installing rain flush systems in Melbourne that take the water from the roof and use it to flush the toilet and fill the washing machine. Water saving is a great passion for Craig as he grew up in plant nurseries from birth in the western farming districts of Victoria and with that comes an explicit understanding of not only technical things as irrigation but a deeper understanding of the need for water in all living things. The current crisis we face in Australia with regard to reservoir and waste is either misunderstood or lost between intuition and conscious thought. According to Craig: "A simple and cost effective guide such as this one will enable people not only to help the issue in their own homes but would be 'cost effective', in assisting us to save up to 50,000 litres per year per person. The solutions may not need big band-aids such as de-salinization or the building of expensive catchments; we can all do our bit and I can show you how through this simple guide. After travelling through Europe and South East Asia over the last two years and assessing their water conditions I can say that the problem is world wide, though by far we have the worst of it with a rapidly growing population, and this is affecting the soil and our ability to grow quality produce. With Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane down to 50%, 40% and 60% percent respectively (record lows across the board) we can all do something from home, as approx 60% of our water use is domestic."
