Switch to GreenPower
and cut your greenhouse gasses for as little as $1 per week!

A good long rain
But the Yarra’s still thirsty
Earlier today I was standing on the banks of the Yarra River out at Warrandyte, hopeful for the sight and sound of rushing flows of water after the weekend’s rain.
But as Yarra Riverkeeper Ian Penrose observed, today the river was only a few inches higher than before the downpour.
Sure, I was standing downstream from the Upper Yarra Reservoir - the dam that supplies so much of Melbourne’s drinking water - so a fair bit of the weekend’s rain has already been captured upstream.
