Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyI totally agreeing that water is precious but fail to understand your comment about using seawater in the pools. If a pool is located at the middle of the island, are you saying trucks should supply those pools with seawater and top them up the same way. Not very environmental friendly way - if at all possible.
In drought conditions, the wasteful acts of watering gardens, washing cars, taking baths and washing terraces or the outsides of buildings must be offences punishable by large fines. Swimming pools could be filled with sea water, which actually is rather pleasant. Fresh water is becoming a precious commodity and we all have to play our part to conserve and use it wisely.
