So much for the Melbourne cultural mentality of being better than the rest of the country. Melbourne is obviously crap when it comes to caring about conserving water...

Current dam levels (as at 3 January 2009)Melbourne: 32.9

As with all problems, the simplest solution is generally the best one.

Violence.

HAHAHA, totally

Invent some system whereby there are punishments for going over 155 litres per day...

1-5L over = brick through car window
6-10L over = spear through lounge room window
11-20L = saucepan over the head
21-30L = amputation of a finger

and so on :p

Again, simplicity is the key to a good solution.

Rather than a complex stepped scale of obscure deterrents which may or may not be applicable to people for all sorts of reasons a much simpler scale could be used far more effectively and with far less scope for confusion.

Something along the lines this:

Don't do anything stupid: No reprisals.
Do something stupid: Beaten to death.

hahahahha

If violence is not your last resort you are not resorting to enough of it.
