A drought is where there is no grass, Crops Fail, Livestock and people are dead and rotting in the fields. I dont see any of that here. What I see is green fields, Crops growing and cows living!
The reason people have hose pipe bans in this country, is not due to the below average rainfall that we have experienced over the last twelve months, but it is entirely down to the fact that the water companies are more interested in making a profit, and paying shareholders, than they are in Maintaining and improving on the infrastructure that supplies that water to us!
We are an Island sourounded by an almost Limitless supply of water. Admitted it is sea water, but with very simple technology, it can be turned in to Drinkable Tap Water. It is done in a lot of other places around the world, so why not here.
The answer is simple. De-salination costs money. Lots of money and our water bills would inevitably increase. But there would be no Shortage!!!
