My Audience:

My Audience would be anyone who wants to listen. If I was to name an audience I would probably say 25 years and over. This would be because it is tied in with politicians and not many people younger than 25 would not be interested.

My Intention:

My Intention is to open the eyes of both politicians and civilians. The fact is that the drought we are going through could be fixed as easily and wiping your bum. The government is focussing on putting in desalination plants. And yes they are good ideas but why not expand. Why not fix our problem for good. Every year hundreds of thousands of litres of water is pumped out into the ocean in the Kimberley. Why are we not utilising this and building a pipe down to Victoria. It is because as I said the answer is ringing in their ears all they need to do is listen. Even if we just built a pipe down and pumped it into the start of the Murray River and let it run through to Victoria that would kill two birds with one stone. As we all know a lot of farmers depended on the Murray River to give them fresh water all year round. But now that it is drying up a lot of farmers are suffering. The facts in this matter is that for 3-4 months of the year Kununurra has torrential downpours which fill up the mighty catchment area well known as lake argyle. Lake Argyle throughout the dry season is 21 times Sydney Harbour now this is in an average of 40 degrees Celsius heat. During the Wet season I mentioned above it will more than often double its capacity making it 42 times Sydney Harbour. People need to see this and realise there is stuff we can do that will make a big contribution to helping the drought in Victoria and South Australia.
