It's a problem all over the place. Even just in the US there are restrictions throughout the southwest, along the Klamath in Oregon, in areas along the Rio Grande that runs through New Mexico and between Texas and Mexico. And Nebraska and Colorado are in court over other water use issues with the South Platte river. States and groups have always argued about and fought over water rights, but between the drought and the ever increasing consumption for industry and agriculture things are probably going to get worse before they get better. Should have had desalination plants being put in place a decade ago with sufficient infrastructure to pump to inland consumers as well.

@ericastier1646 I'm not wrong about any of the specifics I've mentioned. If anything by saying you're had "plenty" and "actually more than usual" you are proving the climate scientists right - drought where it's usually dry and too much water where it's wetter.

@sirsplicer is that normal for that area?

@sirsplicer Not good. Seems like people getting too much water is supposed to be the flip-side of this mess. I hope we can make the drastic changes that need to happen to keep things from getting worse before they are made for us when things do get worse. Good luck!
