20:41:00 <SkyFire> hi Mars
20:42:00 <Mars> hi SkyFire
20:42:00 <Mars> how are u ?
20:42:00 <SkyFire> ok
20:42:00 <SkyFire> not flooded yet
20:43:00 <Mars> where are you
20:43:00 <SkyFire> Canberra
20:43:00 <SkyFire> MrMark took off when I grabbed the carving knife - lol
20:43:00 <Mars> that'd be right..lol
20:44:00 <SkyFire> http://www.actew.com.au/Our%20Projects/Enlarged%20Cotter%20Dam/DamCam.aspx <-- half built new Cotter Dam
20:45:00 <SkyFire> that started yesterday
20:45:00 <Mars> lemme see
20:46:00 <Mars> is that water goimg over the top ?
20:46:00 <SkyFire> yes
20:46:00 <SkyFire> another delay due to weather
20:47:00 <Mars> ohhhh in canberra ?
20:47:00 <SkyFire> yeah
20:47:00 <SkyFire> that wall is 40 meters high btw
20:47:00 <Mars> yep it looks it too
20:47:00 <Mars> have you been to dartmouth
20:47:00 <SkyFire> another 38 meters to go I think
20:48:00 <SkyFire> yeah back in 1977
20:49:00 <Mars> 180 meters
20:49:00 <SkyFire> wow
20:49:00 <Mars> yes is that deep to in many places
20:49:00 <SkyFire> ok
20:50:00 <Mars> a mate of mine went fishing on it a while ago and got lost for a week ...in his boat it's that big
20:50:00 <SkyFire> once the wall is finished it will be 80 gigalitre capacity - old dam was only 4 gigalitre capacity
20:50:00 <SkyFire> wow
20:51:00 <Mars> we need all the water we can get to cope with the poppulation growth
20:51:00 <SkyFire> yeah
20:51:00 <SkyFire> luckily we don't have that much population
20:51:00 <SkyFire> 324,000 people in Canberra roughly
20:52:00 <Mars> and these days no mater how water wise we are ...we use a lot more than we did in the past cause we are a more hygenic society
20:52:00 <SkyFire> ok
20:52:00 <SkyFire> amazing the amount some people use out here
20:52:00 <Mars> melbourne averages 150 litres per day per person
20:53:00 <SkyFire> some people in the rich areas of Sydney had sprinklers going all day, even in the drought, they just paid the fine and kept watering
20:53:00 <SkyFire> ok
20:54:00 <Mars> mind u i agree with them....water should be available to everyone it falls from the sky.....it's just a matter of managing it correctly
20:54:00 <SkyFire> always thought it funny here in Canberrs during the drought that the cleanest cars were peoples 4wds
20:54:00 <SkyFire> yep
20:55:00 <Mars> hahaha sounds right
20:56:00 <SkyFire> for a lot of people it was a matter of pride if you had a filthy car as it showed you were saving water
20:57:00 <Mars> u know in melb we are stillllll!!!!! on satge 1 water restrictions
20:57:00 <Mars> stage
20:57:00 <SkyFire> same here
20:57:00 <SkyFire> Canberra has permanent stage 1
20:58:00 <Mars> our damms are 60 % full and we are copping a heap of rain....i am sure they will spill by the end of this year
20:58:00 <SkyFire> at least Melbourne didn't come within days of running out of water, like we did
20:58:00 <SkyFire> ok
20:58:00 <SkyFire> Waragamba in Sydney is probaly going to spill tonight
20:59:00 <Mars> they set up the desal plant and the new pipeline now there they alone will take us through the worst years
20:59:00 <SkyFire> Canberra was down to 30% water and was looking at stage 5 and then the rains came
20:59:00 <SkyFire> ok
21:00:00 <SkyFire> desal no good for here - no coastline :(
21:00:00 <SkyFire> hi hippy
21:02:00 <Mars> u have eucameen near by ?
21:02:00 <Mars> eucambeen ?
21:02:00 <SkyFire> sort of - but not for drinking water
21:02:00 <Mars> why not ?
21:02:00 <CtrlV> ?
21:02:00 <SkyFire> thats part of the snowy hydro
21:02:00 <CtrlV> why on me?
21:03:00 <SkyFire> umm felt like it - hops off
21:03:00 <CtrlV> lol
21:03:00 <SkyFire> also think they would have to pump from that one
21:03:00 <Mars> over here they tapped into eildon thats not drinking water either....but it' gets filtered down the line
21:03:00 <SkyFire> btw it nearly ran out of water during the drought too
21:04:00 <SkyFire> ok
21:04:00 <Mars> ohhh ...i thought that was an endless supply
21:04:00 <SkyFire> thats what people thought
21:04:00 <Mars> hi CtrlV
21:04:00 <CtrlV> heya Mars
21:04:00 <CtrlV> should i snuggle back?
21:05:00 <SkyFire> we did have talk of power restrictions if the water levels dropped too far up in the snowies
21:05:00 <SkyFire> yeah - lol

21:06:00 <CtrlV> wow im special now

21:08:00 <Mars> did u use that nick ?

21:22:00 <Mars> is that eucambeen
21:22:00 <SkyFire> yes
21:22:00 <SkyFire> 2006
21:23:00 <Mars> ok
21:23:00 <SkyFire> think it has a bit more water these days
21:24:00 <Mars> yes the whole eastern sea board suffered for about 10 years
21:24:00 <SkyFire> was nice when the rains camesm but it would be nice if they eased off a bit up here
21:25:00 <Mars> yes you are making up for lost time
21:26:00 <SkyFire> in 2010 we had a total in our own rain gauge of 1075.7 mm of rain
21:26:00 <SkyFire> average is roughly 600 mm
21:28:00 <Mars> a meter is good rainfall
21:28:00 <SkyFire> yep
21:28:00 <SkyFire> so far this year we are up to 299.1 mm
21:28:00 <SkyFire> and 101.8 mm so far this month
21:29:00 <SkyFire> with more heavy rain to come
21:29:00 <Mars> i believe it's all cyclic and what we missed out on in the past we will make up for in the future
21:30:00 <SkyFire> yeah
21:31:00 <CtrlV> where
21:31:00 <SkyFire> to the coast
