This website is an excellent resource! The SA Parliament is currently conducting an inquiry into SA Water, with one of the terms of reference being to look at the "efficacy of water restrictions" - we're working to have a strong community submission discussion the need for support for food growing. Looking at Holmgren's graph above, you might also be interested in looking at the Australian Conservation Foundation's 'Consumption Atlas', which looks at the greenhouse emissions, water use, and footprint of Australia by Statistical Local Area. Of particular use may be the Main Findings report, which discussed the massive impact of food and agriculture. I think you can find it at http://www.acfonline.org.au/consumptionatlas.
