That's what I was going to say! Brisbane had water restrictions for the better part of a decade, and unless you installed a grey water or tank system, it was buckets all the way.

(We had a problem with our next door neighbour filling buckets at his own tap, then sneaking into our yard to use ours. Another friend installed a tank, then had to contend with her next door neighbour ringing the council to accuse her of using sprinklers, even though the tank was clearly visible. So great.)

(Brisbane's water restrictions were lifted after the floods, but I'm pretty sure most of the fountains are still being used as gardens now.)
