World.

restrictions and the state government is considering what it can realistically impose as
Category 6 restrictions. Brisbane languishes under the most severe water control of any
capital city in Australia.

Oblivion with once life-giving water. His agents cause dissension in the living world, the
government plan to build a water exchange pipeline is beset by accidents and delays.

dams, largely because there is no regulation on their access.

floods falls on south east Queensland, raising dam levels to over 70%. The water also pushes

to defend against airbourne attackers.
