National Geographic features dry Adelaide

I heard on ABC 891 radio this morning that the latest edition of National Geographic features Adelaide, but for all the wrong reasons.

The article mentions that Adelaide could become the world's first industrialised city to live in a permanent state of water shortage.
Not a good look for residents, tourism and attracting new settlers to our state.

Marvellous Mike wants our population to increase by 400,000 in the next few years. But who wants to live in a desert? Shower with a friend might be our next SA Great tourist slogan!

Anyway, we are all slowly adapting to our new way of life. Dirty cars, dead gardens, dead parklands. Perhaps we could somehow turn that into a positive for tourists, to come see how much our city and state has changed under global warming and climate change.
Did I mention the 800km long algal bloom on the River Murray heading our way?
Water water everywhere, but not a drop safe to drink.
