Last week South Aus­tralia cel­eb­rated Water Week. As a pre­vi­ous res­id­ent in the driest state on the driest con­tin­ent, water and water con­ser­va­tion was drilled into us from a young age. The cur­rent water restric­tions in many states pale into insig­ni­fic­ance com­pared to liv­ing on a farm with lim­ited water supplies.

Geeks for Good is a thought-seed planted by Cameron Reilly on G’Day world 299, and his sub­sequent call-out to the Pod­cast­ing world at pod­camp­perth.

Two pre­vi­ous school asso­ci­ates, Dr Paul Dalby and Chris Hobart — along with a former work col­league, Mike Sey­fang; have taken the power of the inter­net, bor­rowed an idea from Web­Jam and cre­ated Water Pitch­Fest.

Using flickr, twit­ter, you­tube, blog­ging, rss and pod­cast­ing — get­ting the story out about water projects.

The lit­mus tests: com­ments, emails, pro­ject exe­cu­tions but most import­antly connections.
