do you think that the human race is taking our natural resources for granted?

I feel as though we are more so now as where I live(Brisbane,Australia)are on level 5 water restrictions and we are only allowed to use 140 litres of water each per day.This may seem like a lot but it has changed the way we go about our daily routines like we are asked to do 1 load of washing per week,shower instead of a bath,we arent allowed to use a hose on our lawns etc.Has anyone been hit any changes due to weather changes?

Yes but I'm in Melbourne. Our main water supply is about to go below 30% of capacity which puts us on stage 4. The same kinds of things are going on here as well.
I often have a bucket in the bottom of the shower because when I turn it on it is too cold and I catch that water and then put it on the garden. We've also got those water saving shower heads. We also try to reuse the grey water from the washing machine on the grass as well.

really I didnt realise,I think I will use the bucket in the shower as well to catch extra water to keep my pot plants going for now.I hope we get some consistent rain soon-or whats next?
