[edit] Stages are local restrictions with local idiosyncrasies

Note that the stages of water restrictions are highly localised. For example Stage 3 in the ACT is different to Stage 3 in Melbourne - for example, hand watering is allowed in Canberra every 2nd day 7-10 am and 7-10pm but in Melbourne 2 days per week 6-8am and 8-10pm, a minor difference though in the past some of the differences have been more major.--Golden Wattle ^talk 22:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

A table showing the differences and exactly what each stage means would be a good idea --Astrokey44 01:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Agree: New stage 5 in Brisbane will be interesting--Golden Wattle ^talk 04:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Theres so many restrictions for different things Im not sure how much to include - perhaps private lawns & vehicles the most important? --Astrokey44 02:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Victoria has brought in uniform restriction levels for the state so that stage 1 in Mildura is the same 

as stage 1 in Melbourne, but they still adjust these to suit the local areas from time to time, eg stage 3a in Melbourne or Stage 4 summer in Geelong and other areas. You might want to link to www.savewater.com.au because there is a whole lot of information on there about restrictions around Australia and saving water. Lagib1 (talk) 12:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Melbourne now is on 3a

Obviously it is more complex then 1, 2, 3, 4 etc

[edit] Solutions

Are there any solutions to water restrictions ?. --HybridBoy 13:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC) No you suck —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.23.88 (talk) 09:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] off-topic sections

Edward mugits's 18:13, 22 September 2007 edit in the See-also section appears to be off-topic (in regards to the article's topic of Australia's water use). I recommend that it either be moved into a new or existing article, moved into a new section of this article, or removed altogether. 130.207.87.155 21:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
