I had no idea Bali had water shortages, I always see the water in the rice fields adn made an assumption that water was readily available. I have noticed hotels offering cards for fresh towels or sheets etc to help save water as they do at hotels in Australia, but did not realise there was a shortage. I feel now as though I should ask our balinese friends if they need water or a shower?
I guess we assume that all is well while we are staying in our lovely resorts. Thankyou Charliebalibear for sharing, no more long showers for me in Bali..... Hopefully if we are aware we can make a difference, same with plastic bags. I take my own reusuable bags ech trip and decline plastic bags while shopping....I do wonder how much longer Bali can sustain current tourism levels on refuse/waste alone.
