River Torrens Catchment

I believe that you should establish a cafe on the Torrens Lake in central Adelaide as opposed to an almond farm by the Murray River or a restaurant on the beach front of metropolitan Adelaide. I think this is because in Adelaide you would receive far more customers than down by the beach or by the Murray. I also think this is because Adelaide is a relatively small town, and no matter where you are you are always close to where you want to be and you don't spend half of your life in or on a car, bus or bike. It has a great climate, much better than up at the Murray where it is always too hot or down at the beach where it is always to cold, hot or windy. It is convenient for many people, such as University students and people who work near there. It has many great features such as the Festival Theatre, shops, recreation areas and many fairs at Wayville Showgrounds.
However, you must make sure that your cafe is environmentally friendly. Some suggestions are to have biodegradable straws, sweeping with a broom as opposed to hosing down (this prevents chemicals and other harmful substances being discharged into the stormwater system). Another suggestion is: make sure that in work areas (where chemical or harmful substances may be spilt) the drains etc. lead to a separate water system so that theses substances do not end up in the Torrens. Most pollution can be prevented by regular basic house- keeping. Ensure that ,if possible, all work takes place indoors, to prevent any pollution escaping into any places which lead to waterways.
