We have been talking about this in the weather thread but thought that this topic should have its' own.
It is getting worse with no end in sight. More areas without water and riots have started.
Here is a list of places to go and learn. We don't have direct link options so you will have to copy/past to see them.

My area is at the end of the water line and we have not had a drop of city water for about 4 months. We are now using pool water for some things. We also harvest rain water from our roof that has helped us considerably but with less then 3 inches in 3 months just is not enough.
Up the line some still get some water and ... water their lawns, fill pools, wash cars and leave the hose running. Trying to tell them we are in a drought does nothing until ...... they run out and they start screaming.
Most middle class and above have cisterns so we can go a long time IF we conserve.
The small Dominican towns don't. They have only the city water and when that stops they have none at all.
I don't know of any area in the central north coast that is not having major problems and yet I see water being wasted everywhere I look.
S.D. looks like it is in BIG trouble.
Save water.... shower with a friend? (On the porch using pool water.)
