不是吧，黄金海岸的水库目前储水75％呢，最干的是靠近brisbane西面的内陆。
这次也进入5级，有给brisbane陪绑的意思。。。。。

黄金海岸目前并不缺水, 而且政府想修水管将黄金海岸的水调到布里斯班. 有南水北调的意思.

澳大利亚布里斯班，世界最节水

（合众国际社8月27日电 ）——澳大利亚布里斯班被冠名为世界上最节水的地方。

目前，干旱和紧张的用水限制促使城市居民节约用水，以把水用在关键之处。布里斯班也超过德国城市，成为最节水的地方，布里斯班《信使邮报》周一报道。

昆士兰州水资源委员会最新的数据表明，居民每人每天的平均用水量为30加仑，比他们的既定目标还少4加仑。

“对我们所有人的挑战是如何维持这种水平，”市长坎贝尔.纽曼说，“当降雨时我们尽量少用水，而且现在我们的公园特别是树木还能得到很好的灌溉，我们应该能保持现有的水消费水平。”





Summer of hell ahead



September 21, 2007 12:00am   Article from: The Courier-Mail



IT is building to be southeast Queensland's summer from hell.

A grab bag of major planning upheavals will add to a list of inevitable consequences from the drought and global financial woes to provide what could be a disastrous period for Queensland, particularly the southeast.

Continued hikes in petrol prices will join traffic chaos, escalating food prices and level 6 water restrictions.

The Queensland Water Commission also has predicted tougher restrictions before the end of the year despite good falls in September. Level 6 restrictions are expected to be in place by December.

However, the weather bureau has said the El Nino that has devastated the east coast is now dead and a weak La Nina is evident. That should mean average rainfall of between 400mm and 600mm for the southeast this summer.

A bureau spokesman said falls would be lower in Toowoomba and Warwick but higher on the Gold and Sunshine coasts and the hinterland.

The bad news is a La Nina is likely to mean more cyclones for the Queensland coast.

昆州东南部近年11月开始将实行六级限水




10月3日消息  昆士兰水管理部门计划从今年11月开始在东南地区执行更加严格的六级限水政策，届时浪费用水的公司将面临高达10万澳元的罚款。

昆州水问题委员会日前宣布了这个六级限水政策，并承诺要对不能象普通居民那样努力节水的公司进行严厉制裁。委员会表示，如果政府1300个最大的机构不能在明年11月前达到节水四分之一的目标，就罚款12万4875澳元。

委员会主席Elizabeth Nosworthy说，普通居民家庭已经改善了节水措施，取得的进展是商业公司的两倍，公司们早就该开始行动了。

在这些公司中，有400家在去年用水超过1000万升，已经因为在两个月前没有制定合理的节水管理措施而面临15000澳元的罚款。它们中很多公司的计划极其不足，而且也不详尽。

很多节水宣传部门对政府的这个计划表示欢迎，但是对水问题检查官的新权利表示了担心。在新政策下，这些检查官可以对财产进行检查，并当场开罚单，罚款750澳元到3750澳元之间。

公司还被要求必须在用水多的区域安全水表。

昆州女州长布莱也承认，新的措施可能对于某些方面来说过于严格，但是她指出，因为面临气候变化的大格局，这个措施不会是短期政策。她说，希望公司能够为长期明智用水进行投资。

这次的政策中也有针对家庭的方面，仅为关于过多用水的罚款问题。政策规定，每天用水超过800升的家庭将罚款450澳元，并禁止任何形势的户外用水行为。

昆州东南部下周五起实施6级限水





11月13日消息  昆士兰州东南部11月23日(下周五)起实施6级制水，商家违反规定最高可被罚款$12.5万元，并且成为抽样检查的对象。

昆州水务委会员12日宣布新的制水措施，向住宅用户宽大处理，继续准许使用水桶浇水淋花园。不过，对那些没有做足节约用水功夫的商业用户则予以特别限制。

住宅用户只要能够保持每人每天140公升的耗水量，就可继续使用水桶浇淋花园，但住宅用户不准用水龙头的水灌注游泳池。如果没有合理的理由，家庭每天耗水超过800公升，将会被罚款。首次违例可罚$450元兼一次禁止户外淋水。再犯可罚$1050元，一次禁止户外淋水，及30天的水压限制。五人或以上的家庭，或其它有合理理由的家庭，将可获得豁免上述罚款。

水务委员会主席Elizabeth Nosworthy指责商业用户节约用水不力，2006年下半年住宅用户减低耗水量16%，商业用户只减少8%。

在6级限水令下，商业用户要在2008年11月前达到减低耗水量25%的目标。商业用户如果使用超过总耗水量的15%或以上，就要在仪器及生产过程中安装分表，任何违例的商业用户，最高可被罚$12.4万元，市议会人员将获授权，可以进入商业用户地点，当场发出罚款通知书，一次最高可罚3750元。

为游客提供住宿的场所，要在12月21日前在每间浴室展出节约用水的方式，要求游客淋浴不要超过4分钟。





Level six water restrictions for SE Qld



November 12, 2007 - 11:45AM   

http://www.smh.com.au/news/Natio ... /1194766552849.html


Water thrifty residents will be given a reprieve but businesses will face massive fines and random checks under the final round of water restrictions for southeast Queensland.

The Queensland Water Commission (QWC) on Monday announced new level six restrictions for the drought stricken region, which will allow residents to continue bucket watering their gardens.

But the business sector will bear the brunt of the measures after being accused of failing to do its fair share to save water.

The restrictions come into force on November 23.

Residents will still be able to bucket water their gardens, as long as they keep to the target 140 litres a person a day.

They will, however, be banned from using town water to fill their pools and households using more than 800 litres a day without legitimate reason face penalties.

Repeat offenders will face $1,050 fines, an outdoor water ban and a flow restrictor for 30 days.

Commission chairwoman Elizabeth Nosworthy praised residents for meeting and exceeding water targets.

But she was critical of the business sector, saying it had made savings of only around eight per cent since the last half of 2006, while residents had cut their use by around 16 per cent.

And latest figures from councils showed only one in seven businesses had not filed mandatory Water Efficiency Management Plans (WEMPs), which were due on July 31.

"It's completely unfair that while residents are bending over backwards to make world-class water savings, some businesses can't even be bothered to make a plan to save a single drop," Ms Nosworthy said.

Under level six, businesses will have to meet a target of 25 per cent water savings or best practice by November 2008.

They will also have to install sub-meters on equipment and processes using 15 per cent or more of their total water.

Any businesses failing to comply with the WEMP process faces fines up to $124,875, while council officers armed with new powers of entry to businesses will be able to impose on-the-spot fines of up to $3,750.

Ms Nosworthy said the measures for business - which she described as the "toughest in Australia by a long shot" - were permanent.

But Beatrice Booth, president of employers' group Commerce Queensland, said many businesses were already ensuring their operations were as water efficient as possible.

"We have seen that the business community is prepared to go the extra mile to come up with innovative solutions, which go above and beyond the commission's requirements," she said.

"In fact, figures show 86 per cent of businesses have submitted a WEMP and are committed to water saving projects."

Tourist accommodation will also have to display water saving tips in every bathroom by December 21, asking visitors to keep showers to under four minutes.

Ms Nosworthy said the restrictions would go no higher.

"I think we've gone as far as we can," she said.

Premier Anna Bligh said residents had done "everything that is humanly possible" to save water and there was nothing to be gained by restrictions beyond level six.

暴雨过后昆州旱情稍解 但6级限水令不变




据2008年1月8日《Brisbane Times》报道 ，尽管近期昆州连降暴雨，旱情稍解，但昆州东南部6级限水令依然不变。

据报道，从新年前一天开始的雨量使Wivenhoe, Somerset 和North Pine三座服务布里斯班地区的水库总水量由4.11% 激增至24.01%。这是自2007 年1月一年来的最高点。

但昆州代理州长Paul Lucas表示，距离解除6级限水令还有一段很长的路要走。他感谢大家耐心的等待以及努力节约用水，但根本问题是这么连降暴雨后目前昆州水库也只有24%的水量。




Restrictions to stay despite rain


January 8, 2008 - 4:12PM

Level six water restrictions should not be eased simply because the Hinze Dam behind the Gold Coast was full and could overflow, Acting Premier Paul Lucas said this afternoon.

Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke has suggested that the water restrictions be eased and water flows increased to prevent the dam from over flowing.

However Mr Lucas said extra water could be released from the Hinze Dam without the need to lift water restrictions on the Gold Coast.

"The safe operation of the dam is a matter for Gold Coast Water who operate the dam itself, " Mr Lucas said.

"And I would support safety coming absolutely first."

Mr Lucas said he had some concerns about water restrictions being lifted to reduce the flow in the dam because extra water for "watering yards".

"It is not something that rapidly reduces the level of the dam," he said.

But he said if safety was the main issue, he was prepared to take advice from Gold Coast Water on the issue.

Cr Clarke has suggested the Hinze Dam be kept at 90 per cent full to give some leeway for additional rainfall.

Mr Lucas said he accepted a safety-first response.

"If there is an issue which requires regulation of the flood flow, that is something that absolutely comes first and that is a matter for the operators to do that," Mr Lucas said.

Mr Lucas said he had received advice about a pipe network at the back of the Hinze Dam which allowed water to be released.

"My understanding is that they do have valves at the back of the dam where they can release water through the dam, rather than over the top of it," he said.

"But look, if this is a safety issue, the Government fully supports any safety issue.

"However if Cr Clarke is saying that rather than manage the dam flows, through and around the dam, but letting people turn on the taps and water their gardens because that will rapidly reduce the level of the dam, well that's not likely."

He said the Gold Coast City Council was part of the South-East Queensland network of councils which was collectively on level six restrictions, where households are restricted to 140 litres per person per day.

Mr Lucas said it was the Queensland Water Commission that ultimately made any decision on lifting water restrictions in the South-East Queensland area.

"When we lift the water restrictions in South-East Queensland, we want to lift them on a long-term basis," he said.

"We don't want to say, 'Today you can turn the taps on, two months later you can't'."

Rain since New Year's Eve has boosted the combined levels of the three dams that service the Brisbane area by 4.11 per cent to 24.01 per cent.

The dams are now at their highest level since January 2007, when the combined levels of the Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine dams was 23.57 per cent.

Inflows are expected to continue for the next few days.

据2009年4月5日《Courier Mail》报道，经过近三年的干旱缺水，近期昆州东南部旱情已得到很大缓解，水库储水量已从最低时的16％上升至目前的50.017％。昆州州长Anna Bligh今天宣布，昆州的限水措施将放宽，每人每天最多用水目标将从170升增至200升。

放宽后的新限水措施如下：

* Water the garden with a hand-held hose or water efficient sprinkler, wash cars or do general outdoor cleaning during two 30-minutes periods per week

- On Tuesday and Saturday between 4pm and 4.30pm for odd numbered houses

- On Wednesday and Sunday for even numbered or un-numbered houses.

* Use a bucket to water the garden or clean outdoors between 4pm and 8am any day except Monday.

* Fill new swimming pools with town water

Residents will still not be allowed to use a hose to clean driveways, paving or pathways
