Australia says some water cuts permanent

Sun Sep 16, 1:46 AM ET

SYDNEY (AFP) - Some water restrictions introduced
in Australia's most populous state because of a long-
running drought will become permanent because of the
threat of global warming, officials said Sunday.

Banned forever will be the practice of hosing pathways
and the daytime use of sprinklers to water lawns and
gardens.

The New South Wales government said the restrictions
would remain in place even when the drought is over
and dam levels are at capacity.

"We know that climate change is real, it's here and
the changes brought by climate change are going to
change the way we use water," state Premier Morris
Iemma said.
