Water Conservation in Austin

One of my classroom colleagues has written a piece:
CONSERVE WATER AUSTIN...Why wait so long? the connecting link is http://marineviewperryrun2whouse.blogspot.com/ . I would like to start by stating that I can feel the  personal concern from the writer on this piece and it comes across as  a very important topic to the writer and Austin. I can totally agree that it is important that we conserve our water resources! The source of information  came from the Editorial Board of the Austin Statesman (Conserve Water). Information on how many day Texas and the surrounding areas have gone with out water, may have added fuel to the argument of conserving and and driven home the need to implement stage 2 water restriction sooner. Good information on the number of fines before stage 2 went into effect and providing dates. The passion which drives this piece also makes it an interesting read. Providing a reliable example is a plus and clearly stating that it is just that an example.  Identifying that it may not work for the whole of earth's population and stating that it's something that is practice to a degree is key. Pointing out the benefits and saving for our water resource.  I quote "making conservation  a daily habit, it  eventually become routine". Adding the number of continuous draught day might have been nice,   and connecting it to the firers in Bastrop, TX, drives the message and awareness home.
