The same way surplus electricity is put into the grid for sale/use by another consumer.&lt;br /&gt;We can collectively target harvesting and producing 720 million litres of water a year. That's enough water to to supply 14,000 homes a year at a usage rate of 140 litres per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alone takes off the necessity to draw any water from our dam or underground via pumping from bores.&lt;br /&gt;Why are we pumping 5000 Ml from our underground water supply's at great expense then treating it with chemicals and then we use it just so it can be then feed to a coal mine some 3000 Ml of it?&lt;br /&gt;We the ratepayers are funding the entire process the extraction the treatment the infrastructure the maintenance and all running costs all met by the ratepayers. Just so we supply a commercial Coal mine it's water. On top of all this council intend to sell this water a second time after we have already paid for it. Now that's where you come in as a producer of water by you adding to the water grid you save council having to pump water from underground. Save Council from having to treat the water with any chemicals at all. So you should be rewarded for being a contributor to a commercial enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The water you inject into the water grid can be metered. You can be directly paid for your participation in producing water, water that is sold to commercial Acland Coal mine. And this will ensure economic growth of this region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give people reward for participation in becoming a water harvester &amp;amp; producer giving them the power to change our current water supply from near empty to a position of an abundous of water so much water that maybe will top up Wiven Hoe Dam not the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full details of implementation will be available &lt;a href="http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200802/r222562_877686.asx"&gt;click here to watch video &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind Regards&lt;br /&gt;Rob Berry Candidate Toowoomba regional Council&lt;br /&gt;0407 874 652&lt;br /&gt;email &lt;a href="mailto:sgtb@bigpond.com"&gt;sgtb@bigpond.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832967072336749706-6832344177574160937?l=berry2008.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832967072336749706/posts/default/6832344177574160937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832967072336749706/posts/default/6832344177574160937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://berry2008.blogspot.com/2008/11/community-participation-becoming-water.html' title='Community participation becoming a water producer'/><author><name>.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832967072336749706.post-1422381137304499979</id><published>2008-12-02T19:53:00.008+10:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T14:11:12.963+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Rob Berry says it's foolish to stand by and watch water being wasted</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200802/r222562_877686.asx"&gt;click here to watch video &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rob Berry has indentified a resource being wasted that is our storm water.

regions future that is currently wasted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This valuable resource can be used for our needs for recreational, residential and commercial use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This water will create jobs and restore business confidence across the entire region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While completely resolving the need to drink water sourced from the sewer which carried with it high, unknown and unacceptable health risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will ensure that this water solution is put into practice by clearly demonstrating my leadership and problem solving skills and you can be damn sure I won't back down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point of difference between me and any other candidate is I have a solution for Toowoomba's water supply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By capturing and using storm water the following benefits are clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will negate having to pump contaminated water from Wivenhoe dam up a mountain at enormous costs of energy and expense to ratepayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will reduce our carbon footprint and be environmentally friendly by No extra carbon emissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will provide water security for the entire region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will encourage and stimulate business business and economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will give respite to our family's and the elderly from bucketing water which are resulting in injuries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will restore our water supplies and ensure that will we never again let such a valuable resource be lost because they failed to plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will provide us with additional water that does not have to be pumped from bores which are depleting our reserve water supply but in fact storm water can be added to our underground aquifers to ensure we drought proof our region for a 5 - 10year period in other words it is an insurance against drought.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We can take our Dams from 9% to 99% within 12 Months&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We can go from level 5 to level water restrictions within 12 months.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By placing storm water into Cooby Dam will ensure that our water costs will remain affordable to residents and this will stop the introduction of the (WST) a new water supply tax on ratepayers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you know what it takes to make it happen ? just will power that's all and I have that will power and I won't let you down. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh and just a point of
