    I think this is very disturbing – the drought situation in Australia. Has anyone considered what the people of Australia will do if this season does not bring much rain. It would seem that the water sources will run dry soon if many are at between 10% and 20% capacity? So, what if the major water sources became bone dry. Where would the folks get drinking and bathing water from?

    The 1965-68 drought

    Short but sharp – The 1982-83 drought
