a 10-20 per cent decrease in rainfall can equate to a much
larger reduction in stream flow of up to 70 per cent.
I may be anti-aussie as some learned guys here think.
But u guys will not so stupid to say
Australian
of the Year 2007 anti--Aussie!!
Prof Flannery was presented with his award by the Prime
Minister, The Hon John Howard MP, at a ceremony on the lawns of
Parliament House in Canberra this evening.
The Prime Minister said Prof Flannery had helped millions of
Australian better appreciate and understand the environment.

Australian cities facing 'Big Dry' water
shortages
Flannery said the drought meant two of Australia's largest
cities, Brisbane and Adelaide -- home to a combined total of almost
three million people -- would run out of water by the year's end
unless the so-called "Big Dry" ended.

the Gobi desert,June 14, 2005
Scientist Tim Flannery predicts that one morning in the
not-too-distant future in one of the major cities, taps will be
turned on, and instead of water, there will only be a whistling in
the pipes.
Not a drop. Totally dry.
But sustainability expert Charles Essery says such a scenario is
unlikely, but not impossible.
4.Few know this,but it will kill millions
where scientists have found a 10-20 per cent decrease in
rainfall can equate to a much larger reduction in stream flow of up
to 70 per cent.
"We're just not getting the flow into the rivers any more,"
Professor Flannery said.
"That's because the soils are warmer and the plants are more
stressed and more water gets used up on the way through."
As temperatures increased, more water was lost to evaporation and
to plant transpiration.

Average maps - Australian rainfall pa
Trend maps - change in rainfall per 10 year in from
1950
The east coast drop some 10 to 20 % in few decades!!
