I've a chemistry oral tomorrow about the water treatment of drinking water. And part of the criteria is to predict the outcome and solutions of the drought in australia, or specifically, Melbourne. thnks
Australia's currently in a major drought, and the water dam levels are at about 13.3%, predictions from 09 have been made that by the end of June 2010 australia would have no water left. But obviously that speculation is wrong, i was wondering what year would we run out of water by the rate that melbourne is going at?
Answer
Because the Victorian government has not built any new dams there will be water shortages from time to time and restrictions on use of water.
They are building a plant to produce water from sea water but that is very expensive.
There is also talk of pipeline to bring water from the Murray Darling water system
So you have a government that has fallen for the green message and not built dams so as the population increases you must have shortages but you will not run out of water. It will become more expensive.
So Green policies are starting to really effect Australian standards of living ... all for nothing
Tell that to your brain - dead Geography teacher and watch the reaction !!

What are some ways to learn Japanese free?
Casey
I'm always running into games that I want to play... And then of course they are in Japanese. There are a lot of programs out there but they cost money. If any of you know some good methods, sites or anything like that, let me know. I don't mind spending time to learn since Its summer vacation I have plenty of free time. I would really like to play some of these games and know what they say.
Thanks. :D
Answer
I disagree with Jenny above. You need to learn both causal and formal Japanese in order to learn Japanese effectively. Causal Japanese is used between family/friends while formal Japanese is used in most everyday situations and is important to avoid sounding rude or disrespectful. I have lived and worked in Japan for over 10 years and need to use both to function effectively in Japanese.
The best way to learn Japanese is by taking a class, enrolling in a course or investing in a good textbook.
The key to learning Japanese effectively is to work on your grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Its best to think of these as separate categories and focus on each specific category as these require different methods and techniques.
Start by learning the basics through grammar. These books really helped me.

I also recommend trying to learn a certain amount of vocab or kanji each day as this helps you build up your vocab and kanji ability. I tried to learn 5 kanji per day or about 20 a week and did the same with vocab.
Watching Japanese anime or any Japanese TV program is a good idea for improving your listening skills and also your vocabulary. Keep a notebook and jot down any new words you hear. Then look them up and find out the meaning.
Websites are not always the best way to learn Japanese. Most websites are run by people with no teaching credentials and are not even native speakers of Japanese. Some of them are just interested in making money and not in helping you in what you need to be successful in learning Japanese.
