Would you like to see the future in Southern California residential living? Then check out the renovation blog Tales From the Box, coming from the small New South Wales town of Warrimoo. Los Angeles will likely see some of the same water hardships mentioned on Tales, due to drought (though today's wet weather may say otherwise), competing water rights issues, and an ever expanding population growth. We might do well learning from example from our friends at Tales From the Box, who installed a 10,000 litre Aqua Clear Tank to store captured rain water and have integrated energy efficient living into their everyday lives.
"For me, the water revolution has impacted me marginally. Like all, I take shorter showers, wash the car with a bucket, do bigger loads of washing, but in reality this is a small, insignificant sacrifice compared to the hardships that are endured by those living on the land where every drop is precious, and every drop literally translates into survival."
