Southern Australia will have no water if drought continues

In Southern Australia will have no water if there's not going to rain. The fruits will be less than before.

CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia's worst drought on record got tougher Thursday when the prime minister announced there won't be enough water for irrigation along the country's largest river system unless there's significant rainfall soon.

Prime Minister John Howard, releasing a new report on the health of the Murray-Darling rivers, said the dry spell was "unprecedentedly dangerous" for Australian farmers and the economy as a whole.

"If it doesn't rain in sufficient volume over the next six to eight weeks, there will be no water allocations for irrigation purposes in the basin" until May 2008, he told reporters in Canberra.

 

The affected states would first need to agree to the ban, however, which a government weather forecaster predicted may be unnecessary thanks to expected above-average rainfall over the next three months.

The Murray-Darling river basin spans five Australian states and accounts for about 85 percent of the nation's irrigation supply. The waterway generates around 40 percent of Australia's farm produce and supplies drinking water for the South Australia state capital, Adelaide.

But the country's prolonged drought has reduced the rivers to a trickle, crippling Australia's farming sector and forcing many cities and towns to enact drastic water restrictions as reservoirs dry up.

Howard said there would be water only for "critical urban supplies" plus farmers' domestic use and watering stock.

"The impact that this is going to have on industry, on the horticultural industry and crops like grapes and stone fruits and other primary industries that rely on irrigation including the dairy industry, is very critical indeed," Howard said.

National Farmers' Federation chief executive Ben Fargher said thousands of farmers could lose their citrus, almond and olives trees if they cannot be watered this year -- losing production for more than five years.

Climatologist Blair Trewin, of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, said the basin's northeast had more than a 60 percent chance of above-average rainfall before June. The southern part was likely to experience average rain in the same period.

"We think it's extremely unlikely that this year is going to be anywhere near as bad as last year," Trewin said of the extraordinary drought. "It looks quite encouraging, particularly for later this year."

Howard said it was too early to estimate the economic impact of an irrigation ban.

"We know already that the drought has taken three-quarters to 1 percent off our growth," he said. "The longer it goes on, the harder the impact."

In January, Howard announced an $8.3 billion program to overhaul thousands of miles of irrigation pipes along the Murray-Darling river system.

Under the plan, the federal government would also assume regulatory control of the rivers from the four states that currently administer irrigation rights. All states but one -- Victoria -- have agreed to the plan.

National control of the water is contingent on all states being part of the plan. An irrigation ban could not be forced on Victoria.

Victoria Premier Steve Bracks said he would not budge on his refusal to join the national scheme, despite the looming crisis. Neither the state nor the federal government has been willing to make public their differences over the plan.

I feel sad about the people in Australia, they will not have water to use in the future. People in the other country use to help them in some ways. Even though we don't have a good way to help them about this problem.

Teacher Patrick have ask me to do the questions about this post:

 betelnut beauties

1. The man at the beginning says this topic is interesting for what reasons?

Every one is interest about its industry because it's complicated, political the culture, environment, health especially the bin lan girls.

2. The girl “Jane” says some positive things about being a betel nut girl. What are they?

The money is good and the workload is not so much and you don't have very much responsibility.
3. The doctor says that binlan is responsible for what? How much?

Patients who have oral cancer have 80% relationship with chewing bin lan
4. Do you think binlan beauties are ok? Why or why not?

I think it's ok because it's a kind of job for young girls to have money and they didn't do anything that are bad for we.

5. Do you th ink binlan shou ld be illegal?& nbsp;Why or why not?

I think bin lan should be illegal because some people who chew bin lan will get cancer more easily.

Tainan shooting suspect still at large, say police台南縣警方:襲警奪槍嫌犯依然在逃

I found the news here : Taiwan news. This news is about a suspect that steal a gun from police, the suspect hasn't been caught. It's terrible. A man with a gun that was steal from police haven't been caught. If  this man was around us, it's scary!!!! 

I am unhappy today because I have to come to school tomorrow. Why should we have to come to school on Saturday? Students in America don't need to go to school on Saturday and they can go home at about two o'clock. Maybe we can change this kind of things for our children when we grow up.

This song is in a movie called High School Musical. I like this song very much.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates born on Oct. 28, 1955, Gates grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. Their father, William H. Gates II, is a Seattle attorney. Their late mother, Mary Gates, was a schoolteacher, University of Washington regent, and chairwoman of United Way International.

Gates attended public elementary school and the private Lakeside School. There, he discovered his interest in software and began programming computers at age 13. Surprised

In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, now Microsoft's chief executive officer. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer - the MITS Altair.

In his junior year, Gates left Harvard to devote his energies to Microsoft, a company he had begun in 1975 with his childhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.

 I like him because he is rich.Money mouth He touch my life by invited Microsoft, a company to made software for the computer. He changse me alot because he's smart, and because him we have the most useful software to use.
