Just for contrast,
Cardwell in Queensland gets close to
seven feet of rain annually, yet is under Stage 1 water restrictions. Any ventures as to why?
Terrain is 2,500 ft coastal mountains with 2 meters of annual precip - all they need is a dam and small reservoir for the 1,250 residents. They got hit by a cyclone in 2011 that may have wiped out water treatment plants.
