Is this the worst ever pictorial of the water supply cycle?
From a Western Australian Govt report emailed me – Water Innovation. I have not located it online but could be related to this bumph.
Facts are that rainfall over the Perth-Peel urban areas, the catchment areas for the Gnangara and Jandakot Mounds, plus the Perth Hills water supply dams & and Wellington Dam catchments; would average over 7,000GL of free water from the sky per year.
Having said that, it is strongly recommended to take only that much quantity as prescribed. So, stop smoking to increase viagra price semen count.

This drug works on heart is good news but it can’t cure the disease from the root, and they have to pay the money once they get their hands on viagra 20mg in india heritageihc.com the best possible deal is discussed. This absolutely dwarfs any other water on their diagram as the Perth water supply totals about 4% of rain. The efforts of the WA Govt water authorities over decades have been to ignore the benefits of dam catchments management and to allow Perth dams to be effectively decommissioned, while taking Perth water supply to expensive seawater desalination. The Ancient Romans were far better water managers.
We need an audit of WA Govt dam catchments rain data.
Simultaneous electricity price spike in all States
Noticed this today on the way to morning peak demand – see the spike in all States at about 6am. The Wind Energy site shows a wind drought from yesterday midday. NemWatch. Easily understandable how low wind in South Australia can lead to price spikes when demand is high. But in the case of Vic, NSW and Qld with large coal and gas gen – the wind sector is too small to have much effect I would have thought. In the case of Tasmania obviously the Basslink cable lets Vic prices reflect to the south side of Bass St.
I am wondering if this spike is another sign that the fossil fuel generators are fed up with being used as suckers by the MRET scheme. I say good on them if that is the case.

Perth dams rain data is in need of an audit
Just ran an update as at 31 July – several Water Corporation stations look suspect – several BoM stations are out of date by months. My spreadsheet showing audit required.Source of BoM data and map – for a years daily data enter the 6 digit BoM station ID alongside Station number then click the Get Data button.

Clean Energy Council delusional about wind power
Dug out of my files this 9 page April 2012 pdf from the CEC titled “There’s power in wind: national snapshot” – easily found by Google.
They have a few pages of statistics showing how marvellous wind power is at solving Australia’s problems. This screenshot from p 2 shows that if all “proposed” windfarms were built they would power 6,236,602 “equivalent homes”.
I thought that was a big number and sure enough the ABS in 2012 said there are ~10 million homes in all Australia.

I am hoping some readers can check other CEC claims from 2012. Such as – wind power saves “…around 1 tonne of greenhouse gas for every megawatt-hour (MWh) produced.”
Moving on I see the CEC is still in existence – and have a new report out “Time for honest discussion about energy in South Australia”. At first glance looks a shocker too. They claim ” There is a very strong correlation between wholesale electricity and gas prices in South Australia.”
I would say – Post the closure of coal generation on 9 May 2016 – and at times of poor wind output – gas generation and imports are relied upon to meet demand. Increasing gas consumption in electricity generation will have a consequence of putting upward pressure on gas prices. Not the other way around as CEC claims.
Moratorium required on further Australian wind power
The AEMO price blowouts that flowed from the 9 May 2016 shutdown of South Australian coal fired power stations make it imperative that Australia take stock of where we are on our +decade long transformation of our electricity grids. South Australia with the largest proportion of wind power in Australia is so obviously dependent on increasing coal based power imports from Victoria that we must call a halt to further degrading our vital power grids. Check NemWatch
There must be no more reckless expansion of wind power before we can lay out in public a clear engineering certified and costed pathway to 24/7 lower carbon power.
A Royal Commission into the entire MRET Scheme disaster would be hugely beneficial. Prev blogs on post May AEMO price explosion – Australian electricity bills set to soar
Coast to gorgeous coast – Australia has only 200MW wind power at 8am
This NemWatch screenshot shows how wind is completely useless at times. Unless we shut the Nation down during wind droughts we need to keep a full complement of reliable generation ready to go at any time.
Australia runs on coal. See how South Australia is pounding their gas plants – even firing up some diesel to cope with the morning rush. Comparing their AEMO demand with NemWatch shows they must be importing about 200MW from Victoria.
