There used to be lots of Bison and Passenger pigeons. Just because we have it does not mean we should use it.
Water restrictions serve multiple purposes. Are green summer lawns that important in the grand scheme of things?

No we should let it spill over the dam every year. That's a much better use.
Last I checked water wasn't going extinct.

I have publicly heard senior people from the CRD water control section clearly state while there is actually enough water at the moment that the purpose of the restrictions is so that fifty years from now that people will gotten used to conserving.
The woken dead are amongst us.

I was told to go home when I suggested we invest into capturing more rainwater.

Marks 28: I have heard that there is this new technology referred to as a dam. Beaver engineering has been doing it for a long time.

Know it all.
Citified.ca is Victoria's most comprehensive research resource for new-build homes and commercial spaces.

Does anyone actually follow the restrictions? I know I don't.

My strata does.

A green lawn sequesters carbon.

I follow them, but not because of the restrictions. The cost of water here is stupid.

Which of course is ridiculous, since we have an abundance of water.

I think it has more to do with paying for the purchased lands (CRD) to increase reservoir capacity than anything else. They did not have a funding model beyond rate payers. They have to muck with the rates to pay for the purchase.

So why aren't we seeing an increase in reservoir capacity?

We did....we still need to pay for it.

The CRD has a water management problem, not a water shortage.
Posted 26 November 2021 - 10:47 PM
The Leech Water Supply Area (9,628 ha) was acquired by the Capital Regional District (CRD) in
2007 and 2010 to control the use and management of the watershed lands that will provide futuredrinking water supply for the Regional Water Supply system.
Not likely. The Leech is a wild river, and the turbidity of the water during freshet makes it unsuitable to mix with the water from Sooke Lake. That's why the tunnel from the Leech to Sooke Lake has been blocked up for decades now.
The Leech purchase by CRD Water simply expands their ever widening "buffer" zone ... they were never serious about taking water from the Leech.
The future water supply for Greater Victoria lies in the north end of Sooke Lake, which is many times deeper than the south end of the lake. Once the water from the north end of the lake is tapped, Greater Victoria will have more water than there is available land to expand housing on.
The Leech is just a distraction, it's all about pumping the almost endless supply of water from the north end of Sooke Lake, down to the south end of Sooke Lake.

A comment like a green lawn sequesters carbon is a very simplistic view. Like most issues the reality it is more complex.
