spare water donations to the Murray-Darling Basin
Water saved from home rainwater tanks or caught from leaks could be well used in the Murray-Darling Basin if we could find a reasonable way of getting it there.
Q1: Does anyone else think this could work?
Idea Description
Water can be saved from putting a bucket under the shower to catch and save the water as we regulate the temperature. This can add up to be quite a lot. Or perhaps a bucket under a drip to catch wasted water. Home rainwater tanks are another way of catching water that could be put to good use. If not needed in the garden, where else could this water be used? It could be donated to the Murray-Darling Basin.
Similar to garbage collection, we could have water collection and either truck or train it or perhaps send it in a pipe to where its needed. Or perhaps a ride-a-thon where we gather people to ride a bike with a small trailer load of water on it to the Basin. Similar to City to Surf.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
- Advertising for people to donate wasted water or rainwater
- Investigate feasible methods of collecting and transporting the water ie - trucks, train, bike-a-thon
- Investigate distrubtion tactics - who/where and how

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
This is a very good earth friendly idea.
